Anyone who has a laser jammer, where did you mount the heads? I bought a ZR3 kit from Escort to go with my 8500 X50 and cannot figure out where to mount them. They are too big to fit level in the holes underneath the DRL's and i dont have a front license plate here so im lost. Thanks!

 

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but have you opened it yet? Can you still return it? It is a rather bad performing unit. Check out this site: http://www.guysoflidar.com/ - they do independant tests of laser jammers and Escort does not do well at all. You want Laser Pro Park, AntiLaser or Laser Interceptor if you want a good jammer.

 

Yeah ive been on GOL for awhile i got the escort to go with my passport and becuase it was a good deal from where i was getting it. If i was gonna spend the big bucks i wouldve at least gotten the ZR4 but since t/a's have a low LIDAR profile as it is i didnt feel the need to spend all that money when this deal came across. Its not a bad performing unit especially for the money compared to LPP.

 

What are the dimensions of the heads? How many do you have? 2? Are you doing both in front or front and back?

 

I'm an idiot. Ignore this.


looks like the laser interceptor is the way to go, but there website doesn't offer rear mounting....

anyone have any ideas? I mean when I got popped it wasn't the front, it was when he came up on me at night.................

 

You could not have been caught from behind (or any direction) by an LEO using LIDAR in a moving vehicle - the guns have to be stationary. He could have been using radar or just old fashioned pacing. Or the one who pulled you over may not have been the one operating the gun.

 

Not true.

If you search the laser forums they can now get you from the back.

Trust me, the V1 went off right as I got nailed, it was pointing behind and he got me. There was no radar. As soon as I got nailed, I hit the brakes. He then hit me two more times and then his lights came on. He was a ways behind me.

And why do you say they can't pull you over while using Lidar when moving? It's a light beam. It travels at a given speed. He knows his speed, and then knows mine. Pretty simple math.

Maybe he wasn't the one that nailed me, but he was behind me and my v1 was pointing to the back. It's becoming quite common.

 

Oh it's certainly possible that you got tagged by laser from behind - it's just not possible that you got tagged by a moving patrol car. The LIDAR gun produces such a narrow beam that it must be precisely aimed. That is both its strength and weakness. The strength is that it can pick individual vehicles out of traffic with no doubt as to which vehicle was clocked. The weakness is that it can't be aimed properly by an LEO driving a car - it has to be sighted through the lens in order to aim at a vehicle and agencies frown on officers covering their face with the gun while driving. In fact, it is against policy and even inadmissible in court in some jurisdictions.

 

OK, cool White.

Thanks for the info. Maybe he had already pulled out and then flipped his lights on, not sure, it was 1:50 in the morning.

 

Any officer that is certified to take Lidar or K-Band radar knows that you MUST be stationary to run Lidar and it must be taken in clear view of the front or rear license plate of the suspect vehicle without any obstructions. Therefore, you CANNOT take Lidar (Laser Radar) through a window or with any obstructions such as Fog, Rain, Bushes, Tree's etc in the path of the Laser and the Vehicle your shooting. However K-Band radar can be taken as moving radar and will stick in court as long as the officer has used a tuning fork at the beginning of his shift to confirm his equipment was in proper working order. Lidar is not usually taken at night though for the fact that other light beams (Such as headlights) can throw the laser off as well. Must of the time you get hit with Lidar it is going to be a motorcycle cop (Who's speacialty is radar) or a police officer standing outside of his vehicle on a clear sunny day shooting his lidar gun at vehicles and then directing speeder's into a parking lot so he can write them. We've all seen those ******** on foot in the middle of the road telling someone to pull into a parking area. THAT'S LIDAR! Then we've all seen our state troopers or Highway patrols at night sitting in "the Cut" on our interstates. That's K Band Radar. Everything i've written here is in fact and can be trusted as I am 6-0 against my local Police Dept. in traffic court, not to mention I am on VERY good terms with a sexy little blonde that works for the PD. She gives me alot of good pointers on how sh*t works, not to mention she's inlove with my T/A.

here is a Link that many of you may find helpful as well ......

You'll find the basics as well as some Lidar stuff too!!

So ah, Hope this helps....

Thanks Bandit!!
