Legally you can not Jam Radar!
But you can Jam Lazer!
Best portable Radar Detecters
Escort Redline
Bell STI Magnum
Not a V1 / Sorry V1 users you are delusional!
Best built in Radar
Bell STI plus R
Best Lazer Jammers are
Blinder series.... But a little slow with firmware up dates
Lazer interceptor
Here are some site to referance for info. Make your own conclusions from a variety of facts and tests.

Varrious site with a variety of opinions.
As a person that has been involved with testing units my vote is for the stuff I wrote above.

Beware:
Many, if not all, "radar test sites" make money SELLING DETECTORS or selling links. Valentine will not play that game. Some of these test sites used to not even test V1s. I am circumspect of most of the test results. (Radartest.com front page is nothing but a sales page- couldnt find the 'test' part...)
Having said that, over the years to competition has improved based on some of the testing Ive been able to evaluate where bias seems to have been removed. I am still a V1 owner.. I like to know if targets are in front or behind- and with the bluetooth link to an iphone app, I can get quite a bit of info displayed (as well as fine tune the detector to ignore certain bands based on where I am and local LEOs frequency of choice,
FEDERAL law prohibits radar jamming. There is no commercial radar jammer.
Laser jammers are regulated by state law.

No, radar detector is a listening device, but two jammer transmitting could cause out of band interference.

Actually they can. A detector uses a comparator circuit and actually generates a reference 'radar' frequency internally- a poorly shielded unit can 'self alert' due to leakage, and can also false second units.
My V1 sees crappy detectors all the time.

V1 is great. Have no first hand experience with jammers.

I know it it is hard to find with all those buttons that say "TEST RESULTS" But here let me link a page for you.

The V1 is a well made detector that has good range and the rear faceing sensor... The big issue I have with it is it false alerts you to the point you start to ignore it! And they fail to work properly after being baked in the window of a parked car all to often. Not temp safety shut own and no self test feature to say Hey I am broken!

Yes even well shielded detectors have issues with other detectors in really close proximity.
