Laser jammer legality is state dependent, with only about 10 states outlawing it. Unfortunately for you, the Democratic People's Republic of California is one of the few.

If I was primarily interested in stealthiness then I wouldn't care about blocking the V1 laser receiver. Laser "detection" is essentially worthless and a false sense of security. I have my V1 mounted on my rear deck as well, but only to a) improve my rear detection and b) to use the arrows to backup the incredible range of my STi-R Plus. Compared to mounting it up front you lose a LOT of sensitivity, ie range! Good luck, not the best of ideas. I've done a lot of radar detector research, installation, and testing - go with a tried and true front mount.
