The correct name for the technology that most people refer to as laser is 

actually 

LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging.

LIDAR operates much like radar. Its signal spreads out like a radar signal, though 

not as widely. Unlike radar, LIDAR must have a clear line of sight to its target 

vehicle throughout the entire measurement interval. Obstructions such as sign 

posts, utility poles, tree branches, etc., will prevent valid speed measurement.
Some common questions about LIDAR include:
  

n

   

Does weather have any affect on LIDAR? 

Yes. Rain, snow, smoke, fog or airborne dust particles will reduce the 

effective range of LIDAR and can, if dense enough, prevent its operation.

  

n

   

Can LIDAR operate through glass? 

Yes. Newer LIDAR guns can obtain readings through most types of glass. 

However, the laser pulse also can be received through glass to trigger an 

alarm by your detector.

  

n

 

  Can LIDAR operate while in motion? 

No. Because LIDAR operates by line of sight, the person using it cannot drive 

the vehicle, aim and operate the gun all at the same time.

  

n

   

Is it legal for police to use LIDAR? 

 Yes, LIDAR is allowed to be used in all 50 States by police. Your detector 

detects LIDAR (laser).
