Actually, laser jammers are illegal. Radar detectors are not.

Default "Laser shifters" are only illegal in 4 states currently according to the escort web site.

The 4 states are listed:
Calif, Oaklahoma, Minn, Utah

Default A radar detector does just that: it detects radar being used by law enforcement, but...

it can also pick stray signals from the likes of microwave ovens and automatic doors at the grocery store, hospitals, malls, etc. A radar detector does not jam or alter any signal it picks up; it merely detects the signal being sent by the radar gun(some radar detectors work better than others, which is a whole other debate).
