Re: Speeding?

[Alexei M Voloshin <Alexei.M.Voloshin-1@tc.umn.edu>]

Lazer guns are harder to defeat that microwave guns, however there are a 
few arguments:

- Laser gun works in the infared region - that means that if he was 
shooting through any kind of glass like windshield or window, his reading 
is no good.  

- If he was to the side of the rode, due to the geometry of the 
situation, his reading has to be off and that makes it inaccurate. 

- The sight has to be calibrated to the distance that he is shooting you 
from, like on a riffle with an optical sight.

- If the sun was out and was anywhere close to being behind you or to the 
side of you, his reading was screwed up by the interference from the sun.

- The gun has to be calibrated properly.

You can't argue dispersion of the beam unless you've been hit at 
deistance of 1 kilometer away or greater. You can't argue the double 
refletion or EM shadow either since the beam does not disperse that much.

Hope that this helps.

Good luck!
