Radar detector

tonybell_57

I have a Passport 8500ci mounted behind the front bumper cover and the escort ZR4 laser shifters mounted front and back. That way I have protection from radar and lidar.

As stated above, the radar detector will tell you that you just got popped by laser and offers no protection from lidar. The laser shifters will keep you from getting popped by lidar. I've driven coast to coast and have found that I need both.

Honestly, it's all about your reaction time when it comes to laser. Just because the cops hit you, doesn't mean they have a reading yet and you have a good split second to brake. You have to understand that when in range and they turn that gun on, if you have a good detector, it's gonna go off, but they have to aim it at certain parts of the car like, head lights or bumbers to get a reading sometimes. I've been hauling *** several times and got hit and have always been able to brake in time and avoid getting nailed. Once a cop hit me and I braked and as I drove past him he yelled out " I almost got you" and I've had a few that would wave or point a finger at me acknowledging that I beat them to the punch. I have a Passport 8500 and it's great.

There is a great product called "veil or vail" that will greatly enhance your protection when use in conjunction with a good laser detector. Otherwise in some jurisdictions laser "shifter or jammers" are legal. All of this must be used with a healthy education in tactics to make them effective. A web search will provide enough information that when used with appropriate tactics you can stay clear of legal entanglements.
