I don't think they can be illegal since FCC does not regulate the light spectrum

Devices used to detect/defeat speed measurement are illegal in Virginia (laser detect/jam)

Default They may not be illegal due to FCC regulations, however other laws exists that may make them illegal
Somebody posted the statutes for Virginia online a while ago. IIRC there was a specific clause in there deeming any equipment used to interfere with the police speed measurement devices as illegal in the state of VA. I would imagine most states would have similar statutes in place, however since the only form jamming ever used prior to laser was outlawed by FCC regulations, perhaps not all states have laws like that on the books.
