It's legal to broadcast IR... provided it's not done for an illegal purpose.
It *is* illegal to deliberately interfere with law enforcement, by any means
whatsoever; moreover, it's *seriously* illegal -- a criminal record, not
just a speeding ticket.  (And don't expect the police to have a sense of
humor about it.)  Better be prepared to demonstrate your garage-door opener
to the judge's representatives, or to explain your experimental optical
communications system to an engineer.  If they catch you, you may have to.
Your gadget doesn't have to work well, but it has to be real, not just a
line of bull.

I don't know whether the laser speed guns have jammer detectors, but I'd
bet on it -- the newer microwave ones do.
