Police Laser/Lidar Guns explained

This is just a little demo of a police laser gun in action so people will me able to see how effective and how fast a police laser gun can acquire your speed.

If you go against a laser gun with just a radar detector you are screwed. By the time the radar detector alerts the cop has your speed locked in.

The laser gun used is a Laser Atlanta SpeedLaser II purchased from a police department after they retired the gun and purchased newer ones

A laser speed detector uses a cylindrical beams 5 times a second flashes to time your speed as opposed to steep cone shaped ones that radar uses. Please reply and explain: sometimes it's registering when your're pointing the reticle (cross hairs) at the licence plate and sometimes at the drivers right side (starboard) headlight. people say it only registers on the licence plate-or is it on any perpendicular (flat angle from the laser beam) surface ??? ??? ???

[robm425]

The beam isn't a cyclinder its actually a square made up with three verticle mounted Laser diodes. The guns operate from 68 to 238 pulses per second.

Laser guns work when the light can bounce off something reflective. Your headlight have great reflectors inside them. I can even get a speed on a covette with no licenceplates and headlights down. You don't need a licence plate or something perpendicular to get a speed. I have gotten speed readings off side view mirrors too

[qttroassi]

Another extrememely important question is that will your laser detector be set off as soon as the cop is "triggering" as you describe it or when your vehicle is clocked "targeted". If so you would be shocked as to how much faster you could brake if you have larger cross drilled brake rotors in front and rear-especially if there's no bull**** ABS electronics interfering with them. Full size chevy's have a tremendous almost panoramic view through their windows ...

I have had a C6 z06 and Porsche Cayman S try to out brake my laser gun....Both failed miserably

Only protection against laser is laser jammers which are illegal in 10states therefore I will not go into their details

[Neissun918]

Try it with the Rocky Mountain RMR-C475 radar/laser jammer, I would like to see if it actually jams the laser gun.

@Neissun918

RMR Products are a huge scam!!! They will not jam/scramble radar or laser. 60 minutes, 20/20 and other local new stations have tested those products to be useless!

[rickster348]

by law, how often do these radar guns need calibrated?

[bockydo]

A radar detector CAN save you from laser . It just depends on the circumstances . 98 percent of the time Im not the only car speeding on the road . and 98 percent of the time Im not the first car zapped . The way I do it is only speed in traffic that permits it . AND DONT SPEED IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT !!!!!

cake in the background....very nice

@robm425

Seems like the laser is showing a slower speed at long range, and only works effectively at close range unless those cars were speeding up as they got close to u. Just wondering, if u have ur headlights on all the time (like on my motorcycle) wont that hinder the laser gun since the 2 lights interfeere and the laser can't use the headlight reflectors as well. Been looking at VEIL as well as opposed to jammer since it can get expensive and crammed with a radar detector.

So if a policeman were to be near a LIDAR monted on a tripod but not directly behide it would he able to issue you a ticket? does it only detect speed or do police use with in combination with something else to get your licence plate?

[chauboii]

it can warn me that a cop is clocking me and its time to run

[TpMaster23]

@Nick1814 That is radar you are thinking of...

[lkcthp104]

You are not very good at that. I can lock you in 3/200ths of a second @800FT

[smokum0]

@robm425 I just saw that the do jam the laser but only like 10 feet away.

[mikearkasa]

Where can i get a laser jammer??
