I have seen ads for "jammers" but they are illegal in the US. Are they legal in the UK?

Another side note about X/K/KA, if the officer is using instant on mode for "shooting", detectors are pretty much useless unless there is a good amount of traffic in front of you and you are close enough to catch the burst of radar.
