    Exactly. On interstates, unless you intend to go 10mph over the posted speed limit, they won't stop you.

    Just don't stop in the middle of nowhere to buy skittles

    Of course they work - meaning they will go off when they sense a signal but if the laser is directed right at you its too late. Your detector will sound, you will slow down but they would have already gotten your speed.

    If you want true protection you need to get some system that jams or blocks radar and laser guns.

    If you are gonna get something, might as well pay a little extra and get something like this:

    Not only are these products completely concealed within your instrument panel but it looks like they also have the ability to diffuse the signals.

    Also radar jammers = illegal. Laser jammer = illegal in texas now.
