Default Re: Lazer radar? how much time?

Thanks Ryan for confirming what I already suspected. By the time I get the warning the laser has already determined my speed. Well I can't really complain too much. My detector does give me ample warning for K and Ka bands. There seem to be a lot more of those being used than the lasers. It's saved my bacon many times with the K and Ka band machines, so I guess I just got spoiled.

I wonder if some sort of laser jammer would work? Also I don't know if they are legal or not. Anyone have any info on jammers?

Most officers have radar now. Lidar is generally used by your state police officers on their speed traps. Lidar is expensive and can only be used while the patrol car is sitting still.

They make lasar and radar jammers, although I have heard mixed arguments on their results. Jammers are illegal to possess in Illinois as I assume they would be in some other states, although I wouldnt know which ones.
