I do agree with you on Blinder. They seem to test well, be a legitimate company and are priced reasonably.
I think you just have to power down the Blinder if you want to let the LEO get a reading. Once again though, if you are in a state where jammers are legal why bother doing this? |
A valid point, but I think that the switch off feature on the ZR4 is an important feature for the same reason that radar detector invisibility is important - because if a cop knows you have radar or laser protection, he is more likely to give you a ticket for something else, or catch you speeding in a different way, such as Instant-on radar.I would feel much safer if that cop thinks I have no defense system whatsoever, although I must admit, this is an expensive preference.
I would probably narrow my package choices down to four options -
1. 9500ci ($1599)
2. V1 Plus Blinder M45 ($1200)
3. Passport 9500i Plus Shifter ZR4 ($1000)
4. Passport SRX ($700 on ebay)
You can get the Passport SRX on ebay new for half the price of the 9500ci, at the expense of the GPS and invisibility. It has the Shifter ZR3 integrated, whose success rate is not #1, but it is up there. I think these are the top options. I don't think you can get full defense for a better price than that. Any other ideas?
