laser question

**ogliquidmetal** · 02-01-2007, 07:05 PM

how long does it take for someone to get a reading using a laser gun, and how long would it take for the 995 to detect the laser.. would it be enough time for me to slow down to 45 if i were goin .. lets say .. 60-65 mph ?

Short answer, NO!!!!!!!!

Since you have a Bel, you aren't going to get any warning (most of the time). You will get an alert that you have been tagged. By that time, you might as well pull over and wait for the ticket unless you have other counter measures.

Generally, 1/3 second with a good target. So, no.

Laser Atlanta Stealth Mode takes longer to acquire a speed, and I would say that is the only scenario when you -might-have a chance to slow down to PSL if you're going 15-20 over when hit with a detector. Except that the 995 probably sucks alerting to Stealth Mode...

so basically, the 995 sucks at alerting to laser ? Do you know how often laser is used in cali? I saw a cop pointing a laser gun? or some other kinda gun? iono out of his window .. he was sitting at the bottom of a hill pointing it at cars comming down the hill .. was it radar or laser ? cuz its right by my school =]

Either active laser jammers - or -

Passive measures like VEIL/headlight/tail-light covers, replica plate(s), LaserShield(s), dressing-down your reflective hard-points, etc.
