Black bra's defeat laser detection?

Simple solution.
1- Steal your neighbors plates
2- hit the gas
3- don't stop

Oh the irony of your avatar!

Total BS. My wife wears a black bra (a nice one from Victoria's Secret with lace and a little push-up effect) and I got nailed on radar while she was in the car with me.

I can see that it might help a bit, but not like it makes you invisible or anything. We know a hard, flat surface bounces signals the best, so a soft surface wouldn't work quite as well. But who knows if it helps by 1%? 10%? 25%?

I certainly do not think my black bra on the red convertible with a black top looks ugly. I've got a lot of complements on it . Recently from Officer Bennett, with the Texas Highway Patrol, as he issued me a warning ticket for not displaying my license plate, and a mere 70 in a 65 zone.
Cheers,

Your headlight reflectors bounce 90-95% of the energy back to the gun. You have to mask them to get any real change in detection range.

Man! I can't remember wether she had a bra on or not but I haven't been nailed in a car since high school.

A black bra or matte vinyl wrap wouldn't work, IMO.

You need something that will absorb the light/LASER, a black bra still reflects it. Unless you can get your hands on the highly-secretive military aircraft paint they use for stealth, I think your best bet is to get a LASER jammer, or just drive slower.

Sounds like something a sales person or politician would say. Its absolutely meaning less. And radar bounces off the metal on your car and is not really effected by plastics. If radar and lasers were that simple to counter the military would just matte vinyl wrap their jet fighters.

There is some truth in that a matte vs a polishes surface is less reflective to light and offers some small benefit, i'm sure it's negligible with the power a laser is putting out.

Even if it doesn't bounce back, the cop can still eye ball your speed. It's happened to my wife before, he said he guessed that she was going over the limit because she was passing other cars.
