Yes, you can do a quick video about that and any other strange encounters you've come across while testing your radar and laser guns in public.

CT Troopers sit along with oncoming traffic (same side of the road) & shoot through an aftermarket filmed tinted window (on an angle), and bounce it off the side view mirror to bag approaching vehicles... Not sure how that works but they do it.

@vortex, I am looking for the best radar detector/laser jammer for use on my motorcycle. I have watched all your videos, done research and still unsure. I was close to narrowing down to the max 360 but it is large and curved (I need something flat on the bottom to attach a magnet decal to secure to the mount). I like the Redline, but it also is large. Any suggestions? Also, what is the best laser jammer that would work best for a motorcycle?

Thank you!

Will you be testing the sensitivity on the laser of Uniden R7. I realize laser Jammers are the way to go, but I am curious as to how the Uniden R7 fairs in comparison to the V1 with respect to picking up laser scatter.

I needed to know this

What are the usable angles of a laser gun. I know they don’t work at 90 degrees but at what angle do they loose effectiveness or accuracy.

Thanks

Doesn't the glass refract the rays, slightly altering their direction? This would affect aiming accuracy and possibly increase the influence of error sources such as road marking.

Informative video Vortex. Only way to combat laser enforcement is with ALP attentuators.

Weather Mode through the windshield: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4J1xs17laeph7g.html

Allegedly the ProLaser 4 is 100% window ready...unfortunately

Shoot through the window with one and shoot out the window with another to determine the accuracy of the gun while shooting through the window. You got a lock and speed. However, was the speed accurate? My department forbids us from shooting through the window for good reason. As far as rain or weather? Our saying here is "good cops don't get wet." A person needs to be going at a speed extremely noticeable to my eye for me to even aim at them in the rain. After that they have to going 90+ mph on the interstate for most of us to intercept that vehicle. Wet roads increase the danger for us on the shoulder, even with lights on. I'm not stopping anyone unless I perceive that their actions in the rain outweigh my risk.

Hi I was wondering if you have ever tested Veil stealth coding . Does it work as good as the Veil Guy says it does? I have watched the Veil Guys tests using Veil paired with the Valentine radar detector and recently he paired Veil with the Uniden R3 the radar detector I bought his results were pretty good the Laser had trouble locking his speed until he got closer but the Uniden went off Immediately so he had time to slow down before the laser gun clocked his speed are these tests legit they seem to be but you never know Veil isn’t too expensive I was thinking of trying it , Radar jammers are just out of my price range .Any help would be appreciated thank you for all you do for all of us subscribers.Shawn

I was hoping this was “no” lol. I guess I’ll be investing in ALP one day. I’ve seen a police car the last few hours with tinted windows rolled up just sitting on side of road. He could be just observing traffic but I suspect he’s running laser.

I have been wanting to bring up an issue that I am not sure you have ever covered. In the last two years (at some point) I remember Ohio police being allowed to cite a speeding violation WITHOUT any detection equipment and that it would "stand" in court. I wonder if you would attack the legatities of that and or the defenses possible? They say a Laser trained officer must be able to predict speed by his/her own vision without a radar in order to pass the tests to have "such a license" to operate radar (such as MI, USA).

Hay Guys, Yes police can shoot laser or radar with open or closed windows. We can even get visual speed estimates this way which are more then enough evidence to pull you over laser Jammer or not. If we don't get a reading of a very low one compaired to our estimation we know you have a jammer or detector. You can guess what happens next. Don't speed and you have no such problems.
