Because I like to drive at speed...

In CT, I find that Ka band is mostly used. On my colorized V1, that is blue. So when I see that blue light, I know that there's bogeys up ahead (or behind depending on the arrows).

I have seen very little use of laser in New England (but it might be that I'm not traveling far enough from home).

In CT state police use mostly laser (LTI system) while local cops use K and Ka band radar.

Laser Technology - Traffic Safety

LTI Ultralyte - Guys of LIDAR

LTI TruSpeed - Guys of LIDAR

Get a Blinder M27 or M47 to protect yourself from the laser.
