But as soon as the KA and pulsed band units came out , every time you got a warning it was to late in such a short distance, then came lasers and forget about having time to slow down.

So in the mid 90's the police units became to good to beat and you just had to slow down or get the tickets.

Yeah, you are just dead wrong. In a lot of places tons of patrol LEOs still use constant on K or KA which gets picked up by even shitty cobras miles away. As far as IO goes, as long as you have cars in front of you getting hit you are going to get reflective bounces if you have a good detector. Naturally curvy or hilly areas are going to cut down on your detection range but that's a known fact.

Now if you get hit with Lidar then yeah you cooked, but the fact is Lidar is still way more rare than radar and the LEOs using it have to be setup and sitting still. But lidar can be defeated easier than radar with the use of jammers. So that's a moot point.

You're wasting your time. He's made up his mind that they don't work, and no amount of facts, real world experiences or math can change it. Any time his position gets compromised he moves the goalposts.
