Ha. You don't have to be a tool.
It doesn't say this is the basics. It says you need these. Select your options.
The site isn't good. I thank for for telling me what should be readily apparent at a glance at any half decent web site.
You have no idea what my budget is and I don't care what you paid. So... thanks for...?

OK this thread is evolving much like threads on my countermeasure forums. Lol If you definitely need laser protection ALP is the way to go. The new kid on the block is not proven yet Laser protection is not cheap.

Also very important to mention if anyone is going to get laser jammers, correct installation is critical. There is an old saying about jammers, "Stealth the ride, not the install". Installed incorrectly and you just wasted $1200. I know several people that do ALP installs, PM me if interested.

Don't the police have to use the laser outside of the car? I suspected it was in much less use during the cold months particularly in northern states.
Upstatedoc confirmed my suspicions.
I understand the cost analysis. I am not seeing much, if any, in my area. This factors into it as well.
As mentioned above, I never set a budget for it as I was unaware of costs. It's within my budget, now that I understand the costs but the ROI doesn't seem to be great for me. If I start seeing some lasers in use, I'll reevaluate. I love the idea of not worrying about it but, so far, I'm not that worried anyway.

I've run jammers on my vehicles for years. I can count on one hand how many times I have been hit by laser (that I know of). Just not that prevalent in my area (knock on wood). There are some areas on the other hand that's all they use is laser for speed enforcement. I'm holding off on laser jammers for now on the Stinger. I'm more worried about the re-introduction of K-band radar in my area. It virtually disappeared for years here but now almost every agency is using it again.
