Are these things legal or not ?

In the process of turning the old shed / coal house into a proper man cave and found my old Snooper 815 in a drawer.
The unit is not a jammer.
Its totally passive and works on 5 bands RF plus laser 

I know it has saved my licence many a time in years gone bye so it could be a handy tool

Laser detection is a bit hopeless, by the time it can see the beam its pointing at you so to late!

I know what you mean with that.
Its does a good job if your in a convoy of traffic because you tend to get a reflection off the cars in front which gives you a chance to touch the brakes but if your in front, your stuffed

No chance, the little scatter from the low power lasers used would be undetectable given background light levels.

If the laser detector can see a laser beam, then the driver can see a wally bobby in a wally bib pointing his imaginary star track fazer.

They are no longer allowed to hide behind a bush afaik....?

I've carried a Snooper in the glove box for many years. I don't use it, because many things set it off. A lot of stuff works on the same band as the cameras do
As for the laser side of things. They're supposed to pick up beam scatter, but I'm on that one.
As Mark says, by the time it's picked up the beam, you've reacted they've got you

Used to have a bell 550 unit. radar was a pain. Knew were all the tesco mini marts were.

Got hit by a laser gun, registered the two shots which were very close together. No action taken.

As you say, the officer wasnt hiding, just using a gruop of local council grass cutting teams with there flashing lights as a suitable distraction.

Believe me, round here they have a habit of hiding behind trees with the laser gun on a trypod along side the trunk of the tree 
Another trick is a stretch of duel carrageway in the city centre (30mph).   They park the van in a carpark along side the road behind a 6 foot fence and have the trypod sat on the path on the other side of the fence
