Ok you laser fiends out there. I'm working on this countermeasure as
we speak. As far as detection goes, the V1 is said to do a good job, the
problem is detection may not get you much warning as the laser guns
are inherently "instant-on" devices. The narrow bandwidth prevents you
from getting the blip warning you would usually get from an instant on
radar gun.
The solution: JAMMING!!! FCC jamming laws haven't caught up with the
technology yet, so its not illegal to jam laser. Be careful, there is a whole
bunch of strait up snake oil out there. There are only two known
devices out there that have been independently tested and appear to
work. No. 1 - K40's new Laser Diffuser Plus. Uses high power LEDs to
scramble the laser guns reception right up to the gun!! No. 2- Lidatec's
Laser Echo. Uses its own laser generator to jam the gun for 5 seconds.
Both are priced around $300. I'm opting for the K40 as soon as they
resolve a waterproofing problem with their equipment. The reason I like
the K40 is there is no equipment to mount inside the car except for a
small speaker and a LED indicator. Very stealth.
I will be able to tell by the faces of the Hardley Driveable riding tax
collectors how well it works.
