This does not work for the latest lidar guns but Antilaser has a patent pending for a technology that deals with the latest threats.

The AL Priority is the hottest lidar countermeasure right now. If the HP 905 would be updated maybe they might be as good. However, I don't believe they've had a firmware update in over a year, maybe two. The HP905 is NOT the most up to date technology in this fast moving field. The ALP is effective on nearly every lidar gun (maybe even ALL to date but not willing to stick my neck out on this since laser guns are always being updated), whereas the HP 905 fails on many current models. The laser interceptor is more effective than the HP 905, and nearly, but not completely as effective as the ALP. The Escort shifter pro seems to be a re-packaged laser interceptor. There are others, such as the K40, but these are really not worth mentioning.
As with most issues of this type, there is a lot of conflicting information. This from "Radar Roy" Reyer in response:

Total BS

According to Blinder, ALP never paid up, that is why there is a pending court case.

As far as not having any firmware updates that is BS too. In this video the Blinder jammed the Dragon Eye: http://www.radardetector.org/2014-laser-jammer-shoot/

I have no prejudices on this subject; just trying to make a smart purchase.
