Only to install. It's one of those weirdly written laws (basically they screwed up). It's illegal to install a jammer after the 1st, but if it was already installed prior to the 1st, you're ok.

You'll probably still get harassed, but it's legal.

 

Ah ha! That makes sense...I can probably get some from work in that case. I'll post pics once I have it done. Might have to give me a few days.

 

Jammers officially illegal on 9/1/11

I went years without a front plate.but then all of the sudden I got pulled over three times in three different cars without front plates. Two were warnings and one was a fix it ticket. I got tired of dealing with it and finally gave in. Now no issues. I dont like the way it looks but at least im not getting harrassed anymore...
