I supervised a traffic enforcement unit at a large metro police department for 15 years. Almost everyone uses LASER now. LASER and radar "jammers" are very ineffective. not saying that they don't work to some extent but a skilled operator can easily nullify any advantage of having a "jammer" mainly they just give you a false sense of security. easiest way to avoid a ticket is don't be the fastest thing on the road. find a car doing the speed you you want to go and just be a little slower than them.

Forget the "jammer" part of your question.
The two best radar detectors on the planet today are the Valentine One and the Escort 9500ix. Both have their attributes. Certainly you can buy cheaper units if you want. I have owned several and I own both of these. Nothing better.

I have run the best units for years in my automobiles (not on a motorcycle), and Atlanta is the only place where I have encountered legitimate lasers. True, lasers are quick and difficult to avoid. Fortunately they are not used much....and likely not to be due to the economy and their cost.
They don't really work. They can actually work against you. Commercially available radar "jammers" are mostly passive systems and don't really do anything besides warn you that radar is present. Active jammers, if made well, with quality parts, CAN work, and when they do, they can actually make the receiving unit, and the cop behind it see a HIGHER speed than your actually traveling. Not to mention, real Active radar jammers are insanely expensive, and HIGHLY illegal. Its a felony if caught in possession of one. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates the frequencies used by radar guns. It is a federal offence to broadcast using an unlicensed device on all police radar frequencies. The penalty can be $50,000 and/or five years in prison. Do you really think the FCC will approve a license to a radar jammer? Nope...not for Joe Citizen anyway...
