Eddie Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 were her boots covered in cow shit????? This might help you understand. How Police LIDAR Guns Work Before you can defend yourself against LIDAR, it helps to have a basic understanding of how it works. Police laser guns release a narrow beam of light at a targeted vehicle. Portions of this light are reflected off the vehicle and back to the laser gun. From this reflected light, the laser gun can calculate the speed of the vehicle. In order for the laser gun to calculate a vehicles speed, the light has to be reflected back to the gun. Because of this, police are trained to target the more reflective areas of the vehicle. Typically this is the front license plate, headlights, or perhaps a shiny front grill. http://www.banoggle.com/blog/radar-detectors/police_laser_protecting_yourself.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
