Is lidar used very much in North Carolina?
Also I've seen a link to a list of which states use what kind of radar but can't find it anymore. Anyone know what it is?
Thanks.

The list says it is, but I spoke to two troopers this past week and they both confirmed it is not being used by the State Patrol yet.....but they are getting 2 units to test very soon. Lt. Hurley said he thinks it is not in the near future because of the money spent recently to buy all new KA units. That is the NC State Patrol. It could be used by county or city leo's but I have never seen it or heard of it in the six years I have been in NC. That does not mean it is not out there this is just my understanding of it.Originally Posted by rwsmith123
Thanks.
What's the link to the list?
Scroll down a bit - and go into "Speed Trap Info"
There is a bunch of lists in there
Bands By City
Bands By State
etc. . .
I read an article about NC cops getting new Stalker LZ1's to catch speeders. I think the article is posted in the news section somewhere by StLouisX50.
I have never encountered it in NC in my year of using the x50. Got it in VA plenty of times though.
Be careful!
If North Carolina is anything like Florida, some highway patrol troops have them and some don't. Maybe the guy you talked to doesn't have any in HIS troop, but North Carolina is a pretty big state.
in florida, some fhp have the 34.7 stalker ka band in every trooper car and ive seen some in florida fhp using laser guns but only here and there. i usually se them around my aread-vero beach to melbourne, fl, i find no real fhp laser traps and even further south than that-it seems allot of ka band and thats it-no pop that ive seen yet either.
but lately here in melbourne/palm bay there now using laser and i have a 2 door blazer and a celica. i was driving blazer on us1 when the bel laserpro 905 i got from roy 3 months ago lionked with my bel 995 v , i had both frontal blocking and when his aim shifted to try to get a speed reading, my 3rd laser defence up front on the middle plate went off as the display went to laser blocking" "rear" instead of front.
very exciting. i went back on 5 runs before they knew my car and stoppedd shooting laser at me. they are few and far between but all it takes is that one time (3 time total in 3 months of owning it) or i will have no loger had been clean for 6 years of good driving and the bel lp-904 which is still on my celica working great and still jamming excellent. and on my first laser blocking jamming him to gun, he never got reading any of the runs. i think the first 2 guns for sure were prolaser3 on 2 of them and the 3rd cop i think was the ultralyte/l/r and i also dont think he got any reading as my lp905 took care of those laser guns ..great product, and no joke, dozens of speedtrap saves from both the older lp904 bel laserpro 904 and the newer laserpro 905 which connects to the rx65 or 995v like the one i have. thanx dan
Travel extensively in NC and have never run into laser. But like it was said, VA uses it a lot.
