How do you explain laser jammers when you get pulled over by police?

[scumdog]

Prob just based on the assumption the cops are gonna do what they're told & point it at the plate, as is procedure.

Huh?

I can't even SEE the plate at 250 metres let alone aim the laser at it....

Just say its a garage door opener.I went through a rego/warrant check point with my rader zapper sitting on the dash(its in a shoebox), copper asked what it was to which I replied a shoebox of old TV parts.

Found this on youtube and it happens to be in the good ol' 'tron. Interesting.




I've never heard of anyone getting done by laser but I assume there's a few units out there. Anyone been caught or detected and then sighted a laser trap?

Thats what I mean, as soon as a bike did that you would know it had a jammer and pull them over

[steve_t]

Dunno how easy it would be to target a bike. The cars seem hard enough and they've got a pretty big front surface area.

Again, I've picked up plenty of Ka band police radars but have yet to come across a laser trap. Maybe they have them in the bigger smoke of Auckland

I have had the detector light up from laser traps a couple of times but was within the limit both times so not pinged.

On one occasion, I came across a group of coppers training with hand held lasers. I got one of them to check my speedo calibration with one. He sent me back up the road a bit and took a reading as I came back towards him. He told me that it wasn't all that easy to get a reading off a bike, there being lots of curved surfaces and being a small target as well. So it was taking him a wee while to actually get a reading.

Which is why I still think a detector can save you from a laser gun if you react quickly enough to it. Maybe...

Recommended procedure as it is assumed to be the most reflective part of the vehicle, but any part of the vehicle will do.

I think this is false as on the Police units I have seen they give a read out of the speed and another measurement, and I don't think the police would co-operate on this type of experiment.

Yeah, I doubt this is actually a Police unit. Probably some rich dude that's brought one in from the US along with his laser shifter for his Merc. I wouldn't even know if that's the same model as the police use now, or have ever used.

Pfft, as fake as Britany Spears purity...

The one used against me was Kustom Signal Pro Laser II but the log book has 3 options to circle Pro Laser II, Pro Laser III, S Lidar.

I've come across a laser trap a couple of times, both while in my work van rather than on the bike. Once northbound near the first crest of the Bombays and the other only a few weeks ago southbound on the Expressway. He was sitting at the beginning of Whangamarino? road, just north of Te Kauwhata, tagging cars overtaking in the dip. Detector went nuts both times but dunno if I was targetted or I just picked up scatter from someone in front. I don't think they actually have many of these guns in use, just radar seems to be the main weapon detection

Far-out, it must be a prick living in an area where you've got all that kinda shit to think about as you ride/drive around...

Downright dangerous if you think about it!
I mean, don't you guys realise there's far more important thing to be spending attention on when riding?

So when a cop paints you with a laser it's ok.

When you paint a cop with a laser pointer and you'll get done for assault.

If you can see the laser on you it probably means you've fucked up and about to 'ride the lightening' c/o a taser.

The type they use on the road is invisible.

Stop whining Indy....
