The individual who utilized a speed camera jammer

The driver who equipped his work van with a laser jamming device in order to avoid speeding tickets has been sentenced to a suspended jail term, fined £3000, and placed on a two-month curfew.
The jury at Swansea Crown Court reached a verdict of guilt against Jason Moore for perverting the course of justice by equipping a Laser Star jamming device on a VW Transporter van to obstruct a laser speed camera operator from Dyfed-Powys Police in ascertaining the speed of the vehicle.
The court was informed by prosecutor James Hartson that in September 2018, the van was witnessed driving at high speed as it neared the speed camera situated near Nantyci Showground on the A40, St Clears, heading towards Camarthen.
Upon attempting to gauge the speed of the vehicle, the camera operator was met with an error message on the device. Nonetheless, the operator had been educated by experts at Road Safety Support to distinguish the atypical circumstances that could prompt the appearance of this error message.
Seeking assistance from Road Safety Support, Dyfed-Powys Police turned to Steve Callaghan, an expert in forensic video analysis and laser jamming, who is employed by the company.
After being sent a copy of the video, Mr. Callaghan acknowledged the presence of a suspect device in the footage. Furthermore, he identified that the laser jammers was emitting light from the van's grille while error messages were being generated by the laser speedmeter.
As a consequence of Mr. Callaghan's preliminary examination and counsel given to Dyfed-Powys Police, the van was retrieved to facilitate testing of the device and evidence collection.
A thorough report was produced, presenting the examination results and the incident's context, in which the speed measurement was unattainable. Road Safety Support identified that the van was traveling at a speed of 72 mph, exceeding the maximum permitted speed of 60 mph.
Mr. Moore professed his ignorance regarding the Laser Star jamming system's capability to block the speed measurement function of a police speedmeter. He insisted that he had acquired the device for its parking sensor function only.
Mr. Moore designated David Winstanley, a retired police collision investigator, who professed to possess ample knowledge in laser and video systems, to be his expert witness.
The stance taken by Mr. Winstanley was that the Laser Star is to be sold as a 'parking sensor' and not to be perceived primarily as a laser jamming device.
Mr. Callaghan responded by explaining that the utilization of a laser beam to identify parking obstructions was completely unsuitable and mostly ineffective. He clarified that a parking sensor does not have to be programmed to disrupt a laser speedmeter. Moreover, the Laser Star is advertised as having the ability to disrupt speed cameras in its instructions and marketing materials, a feature that is not characteristic of a parking sensor.
Furthermore, Mr. Moore pointed out in his justification that the security company he was employed by mandated that employees take responsibility for any damage caused to work vehicles. He stated that he installed the device to decrease the chances of damage.
The jury's verdict was guilty for Moore, who was then sentenced at Swansea Crown Court on October 18, 2021.
Describing Moore's defense as groundless, Judge Vosper QC indicated that he was not taken aback by the jury's dismissal of it.
Moore has been given a suspended sentence of 32 weeks' custody, which will be in effect for a period of 2 years. In addition, he has been mandated to pay costs and fines amounting to £3,000, and a curfew has been imposed upon him for two months.
Can police tell if you have a laser jammer?
Upon aiming a lidar gun at a vehicle, the police may encounter an error message of either "no response" or cosine error. This error message leaves the police officers uncertain as to whether the vehicle is equipped with a laser signal jammers or if they have inaccurately targeted the vehicle. Consequently, this grants the driver an opportunity to make speed adjustments before the police can retrieve the data once again.
Since police need to be stationary and able to see a vehicle at close range without cover for lidar to work properly, if police receive a false response the first time they fire their lidar gun, the targeted driver will likely have time to adjust his speed when out of range. Lidar is most often used by motorcycle police or identifiable patrol cars, who use it most effectively on major roads, which limits when and where they can be used. In the case of heavy traffic, the police lidar gun is very effective at focusing on the vehicle and instantly calculating its speed, distance and direction.
