No, laser jammers are illegal in Peru under the Reglamento Nacional de Tránsito (Decreto Supremo 016-2009-MTC), which classifies them as unauthorized electronic interference devices. The Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC) and Policía Nacional del Perú actively enforce this prohibition, citing risks to road safety and telecommunications integrity. Recent 2026 draft amendments propose stricter penalties, including fines up to 50% of a UVP (Unidad de Valor Previsional) and vehicle confiscation for repeat offenses.
