My opinion, just keep your speed down or pay the consequences if caught.
However, Lidar/Laser jammers are illegal in Texas as of 9/1/2011.
An Irving PD officer (coincidence??...I think not) testified before the Transportation committee in support of the bill. Guess he (or the department) didn't like getting a JTG (Jam To Gun) when running revenue enhancement, er speed enforcement
patrols.Here is the summary of the bill (HB 1116; 82(R) - 2011)
