See how far that gets you. Please enlighten us all to your vast hands on experience with a police laser? I am going to venture a guess here. ZERO.

Please explain what you mean by breakthrough. Or is this a case of you backpedaling. Now you say jammers only work to a degree. Do you know the width of the beam at 1000ft or 2000ft?
Backpedaling??

I have no experience using a police laser gun at all. Zero. I do know that there are many types of guns. The laser jammers have a varying success rate against the different types of guns.

Here is a pretty simple definition as to how they work, A laser jammer confuses the laser gun by establishing a series of infrared pulses in front of your vehicle. If the laser gun and jammer wavelength and frequency are matched, the jammer pulses disorder the return to the laser gun The return pulse, if any, is corrupted, and the speed cannot be read.

It is pretty common knowledge that the jammer will eventually be defeated by the laser gun. All it does at best is give you time to slow down before the LEO gets a reading on you.

I don't know how it works in your state, but police can't give speeding tickets in Georgia without mesuring the speed with an approved device such as a radar, laser gun or pacing. (or once again, if you are driving recklessly) Visual eveidence without any proof holds no water. There are many ways to get out of tickets here. Many cops use laser guns but are not lidar certified and the ticket is thrown out, also city police can't legally issue speeding citations that are less than 11 MPH over the limit in regular zones (Highway patrol can), also some speed limit signs are actually lower than the speed limit posted for that particular road in the law books and the ticket is thrown out. I have researched this heavily as far as Georgia law is concerned.

I will agree that the LEO can pull you over for just about any reason imaginable. There is just nothing they can do unless they have evidence that you were breaking a law and visual evidence for speeding is BS and if fought will more than likely be thrown out. I was personally pulled over for speeding when I was much younger by a "visual estimate" and the cop told me it was visual estimate. I was nearly doubling the speed limit. He told me he didn't have it on radar or laser and he let me go without any ticket. Not because he was a nice guy by the way.

Really don't know where you are coming from with your posts.
