Yep, cops have a way of detectors the jammers, especially if its illegal in
your state. I think if they hit you and a jammer is up (I think) a little
light or something goes off, letting them know. There are some that have
what is called Phantom Technology..but if a cop pulls you over and sees a
jammer in your car, you are screwed. Make sure they have the jammer-hiding
technology.
My 2 cents.
