Radar Detectors and Laser Jammer/Reflectors

Forum Sponsor
This topic as been covered on here already. I'll give you something similar to what I said before.

I had a few radars and if you know how to use them they are useful but most likely the time you'll ride like a d**k you'll be on your own and there's not a single radar or jammer that will help you. Lazer's are instant bud and the instant that fuzzer see's he's not pegging you he'll know something's up.

The only way a radar will help you is if your going a touch over and big bear tags someone in front of you.

If you are going real quick, once you slam the brakes they'll know something's up.

Radars work but you have to use some common sense while you are using it.
 
I think we need more race tracks for both cars and bikes local to the GTA. Seems racing is a growing trend that needs the demand to met.
More FAST courses (I understand they sell out quick) and maybe a racetrack right here in Toronto.
 
This has to be a troll. How can the OP know anything about electronics and not know how radar/lidar works?

Detection is an arms race. If you do figure something out, the longer you keep it secret, the longer it will work. You won't be the only one to have figured it out, so when you do, don't go posting about it.

Anyway, you can't get away with challenging police, they don't have to catch everyone, just the ones who make them look bad. They will be sure to just crush you to make an example.
 
tow this behind you ... its an ECM pod for a fighter jet ... should jam everything around you :p

I'm a software developer currently working on browsers, and "cloud" (using this term VERY loosely because it's just advertisement ********) based programs.

I can rip a computer apart, with a sledge hammer, and probably make it work after. I do not know jack **** about radar and lidars. Closest thing would be network wifi protocols and standards; but even then I only work at the top/high level areas, not the low level portions.
 
Laser detectors/jammers are 100% useless and infective.

Reason being, if the officer is using any decent LADAR made within the last 5 years (hint: they all are), they have a built-in laser-jammer detector. And since LADAR is precisely targeted to one vehicle, you'll be busted for having a laser jammer before you can even say "oh ****".
 
Radar is legal in BC. check on "bcsportbikes.com" for details on what they are using out there now. The guys I rode with used alot of Escort/passport model detectors, though, they may be detectable, which is probably not good in Onterrible.
Instant "On" radar can peg you when they pull the trigger but to my experience the cops sit there all day pulling that trigger, so it's pretty easy to get an alarm from a gun being used way ahead pegging other motorists.

I'd find a radar detector warning handy because I don't always look in my mirrors and they can sneak up on you sometimes, otherwise I tend to notice them in front of me and that's all the warning I need.

When they introduced the street racing laws, they upped the ante making it worth the risk for some to run from the police.
Personally, I've seen Police lie in court under oath enough times to know that I'll never trust them to treat me fairly and be honest. It's too much power for them to wield without having to produce a video or something solid for ruining someone's life for just their testimony.
If you trust the system don't be suprised when you get screwed by it.

If this provice was interested in fairness and having honest Police officers then Radar and Laser detectors would be legal and cops wouldn't wear bullet proof vests. I think you'd see a change in how the police conduct themselves then.

(did you notice how it went from responding to a radar topic to police bashing in under a minute? How do I do it?!, hahaha!)

I couldn't agree with you more. I got nailed for speeding, fought it and lost of course. The cop had nothing but his word against mine, the judge didn't even show me the courtesy of listening to me argue my case. It was open and closed, NEXT! They get to set there traps with there electronic devices that we have to assume are calibrated and and that they don't make mistakes using them, we should at least be able to use radar detectors to make it fair. Technology on roads, bikes, cars etc have all been improving, the only thing that hasn't changed in years is the speed limit. Its a money grab, period. At least the states is 70mph

Note the topic: reflectors. And read further about stealth craft designs.
 
Back in the day I used had one for my car, the cop actually showed me him detecting it haha. My best guess would be get the latest and greatest or there is a gun jammer my cousin has one in his car. But yea just becareful. For me I'm past that stage especially with all these people driving and not paying attention.
 
One thing that blows about the STI is that it detects rear radar. I heard cops like to drive on the highway and turn on their radar. They look for who's brake lights come on. I guess on a bike you have strong engine brake but that could get you rear ended.

Obama was in town that weekend, IIRC, so I assume it was operated by the CIA/Secret Service. It could have been a Heron, as D23 mentioned, but I distinctly remember a single, not twin, fuselage.

If you have basic coding skills, I would recommend joining up with one of those maker/hacker spaces (there are at least 3 in town) and learn to solder. adafruit.com has tutorials. Become a hacker, make your own stuff, solve your own problems. Your intuitions are in the right direction, but talk less, do more.

We will need more hackers to defend us from the coming total surveillance drone dominion.

To be honest I'm just theorycrafting. Don't even have a bike that's gonna get me into massive **** anyways. I was looking into this last year but didn't bother going too deep into it or starting a discussion.

All I know right now is:

#1. The radar detectors that don't get detected are the STI and Passport?
#2. Laser deflectors, not detectors, are needed to ping off LADARS.
#3. Chaff grenades would work but are highly unusable because you'd have to be exploding one every other second.
#4. Look into stealth plane designs:
a. Change how your fairings are designed.
b. Use a specific type of paint.
c. ??????

Speed is good and fun

Sti driver and magnum r both fine. They both detect radarand ladar way before cop know u, the main difference in radar and ladar is thatradar depends where your riding will give you false alarms garage openers celltowers etc., laser on the other hand is always true alarm (never experiencedone, never speed on 400’s) mostly used by opp on occasion).
Keep in mind those two r undetectable devices, which meansif u try to dismantle running some wires to helmet might expose its core todetection. Forget about other jammers or paint, deflection, rd is the way togo of u wanna save on tickets. Im still working on how to conceal it in bike andhave lights on dash, two needed one for radar another for laser. There is oneoutput jack for sound but nothing for visual. Definitely very handy thing tohave on board.
 
Knowing that it is illegal to "use" a detector in Ontario, what is the implication of possession?
I am over the border regularly, where it is legal. What happens when crossing the border?
Firearms cannot be taken over the border (possible exception of hunting I presume?) does this fall in a simlar situation?
