any deviced to block laser detectors HIGHWAY PATROL uses?

i got lasered speeding twice now in less than 6 months... i guess this is what most newer patrol cars are using.... is there any device recommended to block these lasers?

 

look up laser jammers

Best deterrent is don't drive over the posted speed limit!

 

1st do you have a Valentine One radar detector ? if not get one, its the best there is and cost about the same as 1 ticket. Mine has paid for itself many dozens of times

Then get a laser diffuser, K40 is a decent brand

First thing that came to mind when reading the thread title was a tennis ball behind the gas pedal.

 

Yes....

Your brain.

Slow down.

Or speed up.

If you can crack 186,000 miles per second the laser can't catch you.

I would probably go with the laser interceptor. It's pricey, but if you foresee yourself getting tickets in the near future, it'll probably pay itself off immediately.


Tennis balls, driving slow, or using telepathy will not in any way block police laser or LIDAR units.

 

ew ew ew... hang a cd from your rearview mirror. That'll work, or you can put tinfoil all over your car, I'm not sure which would be more of an eyesore though.

 

Regardless of which hardware you'll use the key is not leading the pack. If you're up front or all alone then guess who's the target. There are plenty of egos on the road that hate getting bruised (by being passed) so let them lead by a several car-lengths. A good detector will notice signals as the cops paint other targets way up ahead. However, remember that laser is instant-on and target specific so the cops can be biased anytime they want. Again, this is where a good detector can help.

 

My understanding is that due to the narrow beam a detector will 1) not be able to pick up something ahead painting other cars, and 2) if it does pick up YOU being painted .. it is too late .. you are toast.

 

Although laser is more difficult to detect than other systems Valentine One claims that is can see fragments and deflections, thus, early warning.

No detectors are 100% so I'd assume that if mine lit up for laser I'd be toasted.

 

Laser is instant on. You can't beat it. It's like turning on a light switch in a room, then trying to run out of the room before the light comes on. It's almost silly even trying. Slowing down is the easiest and cheapest option.

 

That's one opinion... here's another...

V1 will not jam or block LIDAR. It may pick up a stray signal, but it will most likely only let you know when you are being hit. It is only a passive detector, even though it is arguably the best passive detector on the market.

He needs an active jammer such as the laser interceptor or the laser pro park. Escort also makes a decent jamming system.

 

How many ways can we find to break the law and get away with it?

Next it will be how can I get away with shoplifting, forgery, or any other misdemeanor or felony!!

C'mon people, I never speed......it's against the law.

 

lol

 

wouldn't that require infinite horsepower?

 

My V1 has picked up stray lazer signals many times

on the highway I keep it around 85-90 so I can slow down quickly and not be in reckless territory

I heard that high beams can interfere w lazer since they are both light sources

but then you'd have to drive w your high beams on all the time

 

I like my V1, but its ability to help against laser is limited. Once you have been lit up, it is too late even if the V1 screeches like mad. I have noticed that newer cars with LED tail lamps are giving my V1 more false laser alarms.

I worry about jammers - I always figure it will just piss cops off even worse. Unless traffic is very dense, it is obvious which one has the jammer. Remember, cops do not actually have to have laser/radar evidence that you were speeding. They just have to state/lie that you were exceeding the limit. A judge will take their word over yours and you are done.

 

Are you serious? Everyone speeds ... this IS Ferrari Chat afterall. I have no problem with people going the limit as long as they do it in the slow lane.

 

The common laser jammer "strategy" is to slow down and then turn off the unit to let the officer get a reading (at or under the speed limit).

 

+1 All laser-detection technology relies on catching 'stray signals' from vehicles IN FRONT OF YOU getting lasered first. If you're the guy up-front, or alone on the highway, you're in trouble - there are no 'stray signals' to pick up. The only signal you'll catch is the one pointed squarely at you, and by then its too late to take evasive action. SO, don't be 'that guy'....

 

Yes, but think of the space-time continuum! Won't someone please think of the space-time continuum?!

 

Dang, I'm too late. I was going to say tinfoil around the car. But you can go Dubai style and chrome the entire car.
