2003 Laser Detection

Laser Detection Test

Laser enforcement is becoming more and more popular, as an example, the State of Hawaii does not have one radar gun, all their guns are laser!

The growing shift toward laser enforcement is because typical radar guns cannot make proper target identification in a group of vehicles, and because the laser technology is becoming more advanced, allowing officers to now being able to shoot their guns through windshields.

When an officer targets your vehicle with traffic laser, he normally aims his beam at either your front headlight or your front license plate. When the beam strikes your car its maximum diameter is only 18". This means if the officer is pointing the beam at your front license plate and your detector is on the dash, chances are that your detector will never alert.

This is why Radar Roy feels that a laser detector is completely worthless and recommends that you should consider an active laser jammer if laser is used in your area.

The following is the laser detection test results from the 2003 Speed Measurement Laboratories testing:
