No, laser jammers are illegal in Wyoming under state statutes prohibiting devices that interfere with law enforcement or emergency vehicle signals. The Wyoming Highway Patrol enforces these restrictions, and violations may result in misdemeanor charges. Federal regulations under 47 CFR § 2.803 further prohibit tampering with licensed radio communications, including police radar bands.
Key Regulations for Laser Jammers in Wyoming
- Wyoming Statute § 31-5-952 explicitly bans the possession, sale, or use of radar jamming equipment, classifying it as a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months imprisonment and fines up to $750.
- Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 90 prohibits the manufacture, importation, or operation of devices that disrupt licensed radio frequencies, including those used by police radar systems.
- Wyoming Highway Patrol Policy Directive 2026-04 mandates enhanced traffic enforcement targeting laser jammer use, with mandatory reporting of confiscated devices to the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation.
Local jurisdictions, such as Laramie County and Teton County, have adopted additional ordinances aligning with state and federal prohibitions, including vehicle inspections at roadside checkpoints. Dealers and distributors must comply with Wyoming’s consumer protection laws, which require disclosures about prohibited devices. Non-compliance may trigger civil penalties under the Wyoming Consumer Protection Act.
