Let’s talk briefly about radar jammers because, to be honest, there is no real reason to go in-depth with these devices. To address and answer this question, no, they are not the same as regular detectors. You see, jammers are literally going to block the signals that come from a radar gun to ensure police officers can’t get a reading on you.
The only problem with them is they are prohibited nationwide. In other words, they are illegal in all 50 states and if you use one, that can be considered a federal offense. However, laser jammers are actually legal in most states so you can look into those if you feel so inclined.
