I'm late to this thread so sorry if these questions have been answered. I tried reading through but with damn near 200 pages I kind of gave up after page 20 lol. But anyway, awesome thread and big thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions.
1) Are you able to tell if other motorists are using radar detectors? Like if the radar detector isn't visible, do you get any feedback on your radar gun from detectors other cars may be using? And does that change your perspective/attitude towards those vehicles? 2) How do you assess speed if you're stationary and a car is cruising on an empty highway and you haven't turned your radar on? I guess what I'm getting at is, if a cop hasn't clocked you but has pulled you over because you appeared to be going fast, can you refute that on the spot by asking for the radar reading? 3) How often are lasers used? From my understanding lasers have to be pointed from a stationary vehicle (i.e. can't be driving around with the laser on) and it has to be pointed accurately, on a clear weather day. These uh.....asking for a friend....

That's partially inaccurate. The day doesn't need to be clear, but I do need to be able to visually see the vehicle to get a read on it. I estimate speed first and then shoot LIDAR at the vehicle to validate that estimation. LIDAR is shot stationary, but radar can be run while in motion. |

That's why you kill the jammer after you bleed off speed.

Dumb question - Does *rapidly* bleeding off speed prevent radar/LIDAR from getting a doppler lock on a moving vehicle? My empirical evidence with a 1990's radar gun says yes, but maybe newer equipment can cope with it better?????

Now radar is a different technology that is a little more convoluted in how it obtains your speed. |
