What is not legal is the type that transmits to 'scramble' the return signal and cause a mis-reading of speed. Those are transmitters and transmission licences (except in a couple of bands) are tightly controlled

Although I have heard that if your garage opener is 'accidentally' left transmitting it will interfere with laser speed guns

Yeah, I looked it up.

for mobiles, laser detectors are pretty useless as by the time the detector detects the laser they've got you. There is little or no laser scatter (its a tight beam of light) for detectors to pick up unless its aimed directly at you by which its to late when it does.

Yep the way to get round a laser detector is a jammer - just don't get caught using it.
