There's nothing more aggravating than getting pulled over for speeding. Whether you did or didn't break the law doesn't matter, the inconvenience of having to stop where you're going for an extended period of time is always a pain.

Wouldn't it be nice to never have to worry about that again, and drive with the peace of mind to know you're not being watched? Well, it's possible, but is it legal?

Are Radar Detectors Legal?

Typically, to catch speeders, police will use radar guns to determine your speed on the road at any given moment. These guns shoot out a narrow beam of light that latches on to a part of your car and determines how fast you're going.

This light is detectable, and Radar Detectors are fantastic tools for picking them out. Luckily, these are completely legal in the state of Arizona, aside from commercial vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds.

Laser Jammers

Radar Detectors can only do so much, which is why many also use Laser Jammers on their commute. Jammers effectively disable Radar guns by forcing them to show a "no response" as opposed to your speed.

Once again, these are completely legal to use in the state of Arizona. Both of these tools together can help you avoid unnecessary stops, but they don't give you a pass to drive as fast as you want. Police are still allowed to use the eye test, and if you're pushing 90 in a 45, there's no doubt they'll still get you, jammers or not.
