For Calif. police, laser is the new radar: It used to be that if you liked to speed but didn't want to get a ticket, you could buy a radar detector and hope for the best. B u t that's not a good idea in the High Desert. Traffic deputies in the area use laser technology called Lidar to determine who is speeding and who is not. While radar is still used on many cars and serves a different function, laser is not picked up by radar detectors. Even if you were to purchase a laser detector, the laser is only transmitted when a deputy shoots it at your vehicle. "Meaning, but the time you're locked in and the detector alerts you, it's already too late. You're caught," said Deputy James Marshall of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Victorville station. Lasers can detect speeds from roughly 1,000 feet away and several models can calculate both speed and distance, while others measure distance only. interesting huh?!! =) lol|||Good for the Police!! There are way too many speeders here!! (Northern California) Maybe it will help decrease the unbelievable accident rate and make the roads safer for those of us that actually obey the traffic laws.........
