how does traffic enforcement lidar work?

Question

is there a handheld gun?
i was erroneously pulled over in a speed trap, the officer had attempted to stop a car speeding past me and was standing in my lane to do so...when the vehicle did not stop I was signaled to pull over and i was not speeding I was attempting to make a turn and was aware of the trap...however upon appeal even though the violation was marked as an estimate (AT 20 MPH over limit) because it was checked lidar...i lost the hearing. The reason being that lidar is accurate.

Answer 1

The lidar is only as good as the officer using the equipment. Lidar is extremely accurate, but was the officer as accurate - this is the real question for the courts.

Answer 2

You need to understand the difference between lidar and radar if you want to know how to beat a lidar speeding ticket. Lidar stands for light detection and ranging. Radar stands for radio detection and ranging. Lidar measures the vehicle's speed by calculating the changing time it takes to catch sight of reflecting pulses of light over a certain time period. Radar measures the speed by calculating the Doppler shift.

The effectives of the lidar gun is determined by factors such as whether there is a licence plate mounted at the front of the vehicle; surface area of the lights on the car; the amount of chrome areas on the vehicle; shape of the vehicle; and the colour of the vehicle. These points are important because it can help you to know how to beat a lidar speeding ticket. It is difficult to detect the use of lidar speed equipment in advance, as it is a highly focused laser beam that leaves very little scatter. Your vehicle can't be mistaken for another vehicle. It can also be used over a large distance, which makes it even more difficult to spot. That is why you need to know how to beat a lidar speeding ticket.

There are other ways in how to beat a lidar speeding ticket such as the use of special paints and laser jammers, but they are not legal on all the states. Focus on preventative measures such as being alert. Check the rear view mirrors every eight to ten seconds. Watch the side of the car and keep enough open space around the vehicle to easily spot a patrol car.

If you try and fight your ticket in the typical manner, such as discussing your innocence before the judge, you will most likely become part of the 90% of those who attempt this without expert advice, and lose. Services that claim that simply going to court gives you a 90% chance of victory are lying. Take an hour sometime, sit in on your local traffic court and prove it to yourself. If you observe 10 or so cases in an hour, you will probably not see anyone's case dismissed whether they have an attorney or not.

You can beat the ticket, but you must be your homework. I have helped hundreds who are badgered, harassed, and unrightfully charged by law enforement individuals.

Answer 3

unlike radar, Lidar uses an extremely straight laser beam which is aimed at your car. The lidar is aimed using a view-finder much like a camera so the chance that the lidar struck the wrong car are extremely slim. One of the potential faults of radar is that it will pick up a signal from either a larger vehicle nearby, or a vehicle travelling faster

Answer 4

LIDAR is accurate. It shoots a very narrow beam of invisible light that is used to measure the speed of vehicles. Unlike RADAR, LIDAR targets a specific vehicle, instead of having numerous vehicles in the beam and forcing the officer to choose which vehicle is traveling at the displayed speed.
