The locals won't get lidar because they wouldn't be able to afford it.
They may receive funding for it though. Recently, local PA police departments have been awarded some kind of grants that let them buy $4000 ENRADD units. If they can manage this, laser guns are a fraction of that cost. And many local police will really want laser guns since they are not allowed to use radar.
Let me make sure - this bill didn't pass yet right?? When/if do you guys think this will pass?
It is also interesting that the bill says an officer running radar must not sit in a spot that is intentionally concealed from the motoring public. Does this mean they are not allowed to hide?!
