For whatever reason, you just can't/won't admit you're wrong. You are one of leading purveyors of mis-information on this site.
No, and don't read into what I said. What I said exactly is they don't exist... as of a couple years ago when I was certified in LIDAR/RADAR. What I did say more than once is that I'd actually like to see a device that legitimately detects LIDAR. RADAR detectors work, and I fully agree to that. But there's no area effect in the scope of a RADAR gun with LIDAR. Unless they hit DIRECTLY where the device is (across the windshield) I don't believe the claims. I'd have to see an independent test result on a device to run around claiming things.

Good for you, that you have a device that says it picks up LIDAR. I'm happy for you. But I've never seen it and never heard of it. I have heard of plenty of claims that say their devices do it, but none that have shown it. If someone were to show me that documentation then I would say, yes... they do in fact work. No, I'm not talking about a YouTube video either.

But AGAIN, and the main point here which you and others fail to recognize, is that these devices are USELESS. If you pick up LIDAR you're already targeted. If you pick up RADAR, you're likely targeted (though with the cone of the gun it's possible someone else is and you're picking up the remainder). But AGAIN, no operator worth half a damn is going to sit there and hold the trigger down and wave the gun around traffic. They'll turn it to the target, activate it, and then stop.

I'm giving NO ONE misinformation. It's not my fault you can't read plain English and seem to read into everything that's said. Just like you did with that other thread. Go back and read it and you'll see where I said it's a MIX that seems effective. Take a look at the numbers on the net where people have gone to multiple elevations. I don't need to hold your hand to do that I hope. So move along from your trolling and slander and let the adults talk before you end up saying something you'll regret.

Now, can a moderator move this thread to a more appropriate wasteland instead of the Camaro discussion forum where it clearly doesn't apply?
