Sheriff's Office has picked up eight shiny new radar guns as part of an effort to use technology in fighting the problem.

These new guns make use of a technology called lidar. Instead of a radio signal, they fire a laser at your car that returns a precise distance that isn't dependent on them sitting still.

These new moving-speed radar detectors allow deputies to tell if you're speeding while they're still driving (inexplicably, the devices are still handheld)...(snipped)...These new guns make use of a technology called lidar.

Sure... I'd like to see one of these "moving lidars".

Speeders are one of the biggest causes of car accidents in Coconino County

Even a Cobra BS detector would alert from a mile away...

Handheld gets-speeds-while-moving LIDAR within a radar detector unit. That's one I've never heard of before.

Did somebody lay off the rest of the staff there? Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, I guess.

It's the Kobra Pro-Laser Mobile V1. Never heard of it?

I am always doubtful of any scientific or technical discussion in the mass media. Most reporters are totally clueless about technology in general.

WOW!!! Those boys over in Coconino County got their crap together.
