Police Lazers

The power required is minimal.

Remember;whatever the power output of the cops' devices emitter, the echo is many orders of magnetude less..

ah yes a very good point grasshopper.

Ok now where does one find what freqs Ka band and k band sit on??

It doesn't matter - no number plate = stop for unspecified time + a liklihood of a ticket..

True, hence why I try to avoid being stopped. It's now 2nd nature for me to think of an escape route every time I see a cop, whether the plate is on or not, whether I'm speeding or not. Hence why I do my best not to wedge myself in. But, hey, one day it'll happen.

I recall a chase that I couldn't possibly have been involved in where all the cop had to do to catch the bike was stay parked exactly where they were. The bike HAD to slow right down. No two ways about it - not enough room to get through at 200k+. And they would have been able to read the plate - which we know means case closed (assuming legit plate, registered to legit address etc). Hence why I don't like the idea of plates. But instead the cop decided to try and block the bike, that meant moving, the by product of which meant an escape route opened up. Bike took it. End of pursuit, nobody saw the plate.

If there isn't you can just make one up.

No need to share your old tactics on here Lou, stick to flogging helmets and crap.

The true sign of a new member is a post like the above. heh heh heh!!!


Of course you could always try my and see how I "handle" my "little" laser

whatever: You filthy PIG !!!!!

I did some research on this quite a while ago.

What I found was that the newer radar systems actually DO do frequency hopping, five different frequencies IIRC.

I googled it ages ago, but decided that a radar jammer would be too hard/costly to design/build with frequency hopping in the picture.

edit : i just had a little looksie and i can't find the pages i read that on, so i could be wrong

Getting closer......

Fuck off """PLOD""" go give someone a ticket!!!! (MR PLOD ,:HELLO HELLO, what was the reason why you were speading sir"??? ps, did i tell you i got picked on at school,,

[Mrs Busa Pete]

No he felt sorry for you because you where riding a bright yellow naked honda and that was enough for any self respecting bike rider to deal with

Because of poor spelling????

[gixermike]

There seem to be several court cases in the uk at the moment regarding innacuracy of Lasers (LT20.01 units or something like that) that have never been tested, proved accurate, or approved for use on bikes. the problem being that of getting an accurate echo being harder than just getting an echo at all. bounces off wheels, angular problems with fairings etc. Same deal with static Scameras reading much higher speeds than the twin photos indicate.
not much use for NZ.....unless you are after info to challenge a case that is...

my radar has a "tech" mode where it displays the frequency detected, could be useful for finding out the frequency used.

There are several different models of Stalker radar, I don't think our cops use the freq hopping version. They have the dual lane model.
Ka band is fairly wide, more than K or X, that makes effective jammers difficult to design. There was a K band jammer available in the States, till the FCC forced it off the market.

yeah I remebered that but what are they? Should put it in your van and do some investigating on your way south, mind you they probally wont "illuminate" you as would be going rather slow.

Have you tried anger counselling?
