Laser Jammer on a T350c

[blueyes]

The Welsh bloke who got caught for using a laser jammer has had the case dropped.

I'm thinking of fitting one.

Anybody fitted one to a T350c and, if so, where did you put the transponders?

You may still be prosecuted for the offence of Obstructing a Police Officer in the course of their duty. I think the dropped case was a prosecution under the Wireless and Telegraphy Act for Interference With A Police Transmission - I may be wrong....
This hinged on the fact that the laser transmission was not a radio wave and that it's contents could not be deciphered, therefore no information could be obtained from it.
Don't get caught using a jammer - if you do then you're more than likely to be a test case...

Fish speaking:

I thought long and hard about fitting one myself when I had the Tuscan. I came to the conclusion that my Mark 1 Eyeball should be sufficient for a reasonably placed speed trap and I don't speed in built up areas so my risk was motorways.

Anyhow I decided not to fit one till I got any points and decided they weren't fair.

I did however spend a long time talking with the development engineer for the LT110 with the single transponder box. On a Tuscan the fitment is easy it will go behind one of the grill holes over 80mm back ie well out off site...and fit on the left one as it is the most lasered angle ie from road side.

T350c fitting in the air intakes would be too far from the number plate which is the aim point for laser traps and would be easy to spot. My option would be behind the number plaste with a small square cut out of the black letter material for the diode window to look out of. This apparently is very discreate but will involve cutting a slot in the glassfibre nose, this will always be covered by the number plate so no probs.

Bear in mind the area of the laser spot at targeting range I beleive is about 12-18" so if the number plate is the aim point your transponder is best placed within this rough area.

Can any on the BIB confirm the aim point is the number plate and I understand a slippery low height T350 with a very low number plate is harder to laser at distance than a normal saloon...opinions of the users of the lasers would be appreciated.

Get one fitted, mail me when you do and if you're down our way, I'll provide the officer to deal with you...
The 'garage door opener' excuse is about as plausible as Tony Blair.
Only a member of the public would fall for that one.

Still not scared! A box full of doughnuts will buy him!

No we've moved out of donuts... we're into bagels with cream cheese and grape down our way or a double whopper with cheese

Obviously it's time to buy a burger van with a TVR engine- You'd get stopped a lot... but never booked...OR.. you could throw armfuls of burgers out of the window if you were chased!!

Have to have a word with Mr. Wheeler.
