    Default Possibly new portable radar gun?

    I just saw on the news late last night that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is using a new portable radar gun with a "red dot" to catch speeders on the freeway. Does anyone including Radar Roy have any suggestions on how to combat this new threat?

    sounds like a laser gun.
    news people probably mixed in the word radar, not knowing any better.

    Laser jammer solves that problem.
    just remember it's Cali, so use it wisely as they're illegal.

    :wink:

    the crosshairs on the HUD could have easily been mistaken as the red dot mentioned in the original post...

    That def. sounds like the HUD of a LIDAR (Laser) gun. All the news casts I seen relating to LIDAR guns have always said Radar instead of Laser which confuses a lot of people I think.

    Like RacerX said a Laser Jammer would take care of that but use it wisely
