Requests for Future Improvements with the AL Priority

[awj223]

The police turned up with a search warrant based on the video evidence from the speed camera van showing them unable to get a speed.

Your friend DOES know that you're supposed to slow down, and then KILL the jammers so that they CAN get your speed, right?

Also, tell your friend to park in the garage next time so that when he enables Privacy Mode, if the cops show up at the door, he can pull the USB key before giving the cops access to the vehicle.

Paranoid? Rather harsh and uncalled for. Being careful to ensure I don't lose my Liberty for the sake of preventing a speeding fine isn't paranoid. It's calmly, logically sensible.

I've had jammers on my cars for almost 10 years and the law here in the UK has never explicitly outlawed them. Only recently has there been test cases that have led to draconian sentences for those caught having used them to evade a speeding fine.

Given this thread expressly asks for suggestions on features that users would like to see and everybody involved with AL may not be aware of the severity of punishment handed out if caught using a jammer in the UK I would have hoped that this sort of suggestion would be considered a possibility not dismissed out of hand.

Also I can find no mention of a privacy mode in my manual. There is an anti theft option mentioned which explicitly states that the ALP will not "power on" without the USB key inserted.

Is the manual incorrect and it should say "remains in parking mode?"

If that's the case then the security key is the way for me to go obviously.

It should power up but remain in parking mode.

He's no friend, just a muppet who..

1. Didnt kill his jammers on 4 separate occasions over 3-4 years when targetted by camera equipped laser vans thus bringing himself to their attention.
2. Got nicked once being a dick, £1000 fine
3. did the same again.. 2 months in prison

Result? He allowed a test case to be taken against him thus ensuring if this happens again a precedent has been set for anyone else in the same position.
Interestingly the second time had a Blinder HP905 fitted and the police operator said he knew he was being jammed by the error codes (E-01 to E-03, yeh right I get those aiming at a wall) and the sound the gun made. Load of bollax imho simply said in court but add weight to their piss poor argument but he did bring it on himself by being a tool. Sadly now he's made too many police forces aware of jammers and their abilities. I preferred it when cops thought jammers were rubbish and their guns were infallible devices "made originally for NASA."

Thanks pal. It seems the "privacy mode" is my best option if this coded profile switch wont be implemented.

What an idiot. People like that need to have their jammers smashed. And their car windows smashed too. And they should be added to a blacklist by all jammer manufacturers to make sure they can't get another jammer ever again.

If you're really paranoid, use Privacy mode as discussed. Then the ALP will only function as parking sensors without a USB with a key file inserted.

For those who need a parking only emergency mode but don't want to use Privacy mode, just create a USB with a single profile on it for parking only, and insert it when you are pulled over. Hide out destroy your jamming setup USB and they won't be able to enable jamming without creating a new setup file.

F&F idea is a very simple one, another option

fast and frivoulus

as far as i know the privacy key is only for theft why would any LEO spend his time there and then to test? when he will confiscate on the spot , he will see you another day in court at your expense

other wise tell your your mate learn to JTK

there is no point trying to hide jammers ,they have been out for decades just use them correctly

There are actually two "protection modes" in the ALP. Privacy Protection and Theft Protection. They are different service codes but work similarly. Both put a key file on the USB which is then required for the unit to function. The difference is how the unit responds without the key: in Privacy mode it'll only function as parking sensors, in theft mode it won't function at all, or power up without the key.

The Theft Protection isn't documented anywhere except in the FAQ on the AL site.

Once either of these are enabled there's no way to remove it, so I don't recommend most people use them unless they really need to.

regardless how many protection codes or GPS modes do you think a cop is going to perform a test there and then on the side of the road ?

when one JTG to many times the side cutters come out and the system will be removed on the spot

i have a friend here in perth ,, jammers are legal but when you upset the cop to many times it may or will just land you in court and the system was cut from his car he was using the stinger with a set speed limit

as for me been using AL and other jammers for 7 years only becouse they where used correctly

if the AL cpu is registered to you they can remove lock keys ETC,,, but if i was to take your CPU and get it unlocked they will tell me to F@@@off

what if one travels over seas and the cpu is locked to a region where do we go from there
