Obstruction of Justice is illegal under the criminal code, but there is no specific law banning the ownership of a laser jammer. The case in the article said that a "person cannot willfully obstruct the police if not clearly informed that the police are executing a duty prior to the alleged obstruction." The whole point of a speed trap is so that we don't know they're there.
This case is precedent, meaning any judge dealing with similar cases has to consider or have a similar decision to prior judges.
If the cop really wanted to charge someone for the use of a laser jammer, what other charges could they recommend? (that will stick)
