Inconclusive being that scanners can pick up signals from the moving cars generally in one area when pulled over pick the car they suspect is speeding in the group
Not covered: Some radar guns can detect the tiny change in the radar signal caused by there being a tuned circuit on the receive end (your detector) -- so they can detect your detector -- helpful if detectors are illegal in your area so they can catch you for it... Then the detectors got a level smarter and detect radar then immediately detune their antennas so that they don't show up as damping the source. Radar detector detector circumvention.
That is only effective if the lazy-ass traffic cop wants to take the time to adjust his speed gun. Most cops are just sitting there hiding behind parked cars eating their donuts trying to just make it to retirement. Do you really think a typical traffic cop will take the time to wok that hard?
That sounds like complete and total BS. There's no way in hell a radar gun could "detect a tuned circuit" and there's double no way the radar detector could "detune" itself like that.
@@VTX-Live It's real and people have been fined for it. I knew someone that got pulled over for it and while slowing down he took the detector and put it in a box and slid it to the back of his van and they still knew he had one and had been using it.
I didn't know these were still a thing. They were all the rage when I was a kid, but haven't seen/heard of them since. In fact, at one point, people in my area caught with radar detectors were made to back over them in their car or something.
Yeah that happened in my municipality too...until someone took them to court because they ended up with a screw in their tire, ended up with a blowout and messed up their rim which caused an accident and killed a 5 year old. Supposedly confiscating and destroying the unit would have sufficed...Some say it was worth a kid's life.
Lol I live in New Zealand and my dad has a radar detector and a license plate scrambler. And yes he does drive a BMW whilst wearing Ray Bans and a suit..
As someone who lives in Virginia, I find it upsetting to live in the one of maybe the only states that it's illegal to own a radar detector in, since our state police have radar detector detectors.
I bought a radar detector from a buddy for $200 and installed it right away, within 30 min an undercover cop pulled me over (he had a detector "detector"); took my detector, and gave me a $130 ticket for using the detector. Best investment EVER!
Weta Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Quebec Police (Sûreté du Québec), and RCMP across eastern Canada use Spectre radar-detector-detectors (RDD). Spectre RDD will notify the officer if a radar detector has been detected near-by. Penalty includes a minimum fine of $350 in Manitoba, $170 in Ontario, and $650 in Quebec, and the radar detector will be confiscated.

Hey Linus, police officer here. My department actually doesn't train us in stationary radar any more, just Lidar. The two main reasons being that it's not easily picked up by detection equipment and it's significantly more precise (radar beam width is very wide, a bit over 30 ft wide at 100 ft. Lidar beam width is much narrowed, specifically 3ft at 1000ft, so around 100 times narrower). Radar is still used but more when it's integrated into the car in what's called moving radar, the radar is in a fixed spot in the vehicle and connected to the calibrated speedometer, which is then used to add/subtract the speed of the police car from the reading depending on whether the vehicle you're detecting is moving towards or away from you. Also there are Lidar jammers out there as well, however if I'm not getting a good hit off the license plate I can always move the reticle left/right to one of the head/tail lights.
Also speed detection doesn't work from the side of the vehicle, only the front or back. The radar wouldn't detect a change in frequency, nor would the Lidar detect a change in range. The cosine effect states that the greater angle you are to one side of the vehicle you're detecting the lower the speed reading will be. While it means the speed detection will always be slightly lower than the motorist's actual speed (unless you're directly in front of the vehicle), however this always favors the motorist.
Here in Western Australia they use camouflaged laser cameras, usually rear facing. They'll send you a $100 fine in the mail (usually takes 2 or 3 weeks) for doing 5kph (3.10mph) over the speed limit, usually on highways/country roads. And they do it all in the guise of road safety.
good news. wapol have brought out the jenoptik traffistar line of cameras a couple years back. My detector picks it up from 250 or so meters away. 24.1ghz kband radar. the laser only cams are no longer in use.

I'm pretty sure the "Doppler frequency" is not a frequency range as stated in the Video ( 2:09 ), but rather the frequency you'd get after applying the speed difference between frequency-source and target on the original frequency.
I have had this discussion with numerous people and found two basic groups. Those who understand radar detectors are passively receiving listening devices. And those who believe the radar detector is actively emitting "some kind of beam" that detects the presence of radar. Funny how the latter always say things like "yeah i don't think so" or "thats why you have to send them in all the time to be caliberated" or " well how else could it work". My detector's (Max2 HD) ability to log and store frequencies for realtime or later filtering so very helpful.
I live right on the border where Tennessee meets Virginia and you have to take the detectors off and on your dash frequently. But if you want to open carry a gun in Virginia at the age of 18 without a permit, then that's ok!
Most states don't require permits for open carry--Oregon included. If you require a permit to concealed carry AND open carry, you are requiring a permit to exercise your Constitutional right, which is a violation of the 2nd Amendment.
+Peter K. Yeah. My detector can find K (commonly used for sliding doors), KA, KU, X, and the frequency that some ambulances and firetrucks use in their strobes to change lights when they approach. Having that last alarm go off is always interesting, since it sets the detector to max volume and has the most annoying sound.
"Doppler" is not a specific band of frequencies; it is only relevant as the term for an observer experiencing frequency change/ shift, as a frequency source passes by. This, in simple terms, occurs because the wave "compresses/decompresses" as the source travels past the observer.
i am quite amazed by the usage of not one, but even 2 different serbian police stock photos in this video, i rarely see us serbs casually shown in videos even once, let alone twice
that slow down thing worked for me*. cruise control is the best thing in the world for that. also music. if i don't listen to music i tend to feel the haste bug's bite a bit more strongly because i focus harder on getting to where i want to be, and that is usually better done faster. won't lie, i recently did a strech of 300km in less than two hours. who could blame me, i literally took the road just to give my sister a freaking 400km ride, and then had all the way back to do. i took some good, wide back roads and floored it. the trip back was over an hour shorter thanks to that. funny thing i was doing 180 kph like the whole way, and a whole group of some 6 cars more or less kept with me for the most part of it. they were like they only other cars on the road, and they were all doing at least 180 too. i'd leave them behind but every time i slowed down by a bit for 5 minutes they all caught up. wtf!
Here in Australia the police will park a van car or 4x4 with a camera that takes photos of the license plates and if you are speeding you will get a ticket with a photo of the vehicle the driver is driving. If your car or vehicle by someone else you have to let them know who was driving the vehicle. I was on a public transit bus going through a speed camera and I saw a flash and the driver got done for speeding going downhill at 80 km/h in a 60 km/h speed zone. Speed cameras do get the vehicles coming the other way with a double lane road with an island in the middle on the road. The flash is on it's front or rear bumper and that depends which way the vehicle is parked and the vehicle can be an unmarked police vehicle.
I went to Costco today, I went to look at the computers, and on the desktop of one, was 2 tech quickie videos, an old ltt video, and an ncix tech tips video. Also on the computer next to that one was recova.
Sorry to tell you that a radar detector does not pickup ''doppler frequencies'' but the original signal from the police radar , be it X/K/Ka bands. You are right if you say : the returned signal from a moving object contains a doppler shift which is analysed by the police radar and transformed in a speed readout. A K-band radar would display 50 mph when the Doppler shift is 3600 Hz. Good work all in all : being caught is expen$ive.
I live in virginia. Not only are we the only state to make radar detectors illegal for all vehicles but our state troopers are some of the most strict and harsh I have ever seen.
+chris raines Well, yes. They detect the speed difference between the source and the target. Then they just hook up to the in-car speedometer to subtract any police vehicle speed from the result. say they're doing 100km/h toward you, and they detect a gross speed difference of -250km/h (a closing speed is negative). The gun adds the +100 that the gun is moving toward the target and gets the -150km/h absolute net speed of the target. busted.
Here in NJ police have LIDAR. However, in order to shoot at license plate, officer has to be standing still, perpendicular to traffic, and within 1/4 mile of intended target. most drivers should be able to see that well in advance.

I always thought it was the changes in light frequency, hence doppler effect or red shift. when an object is moving towards you the light shifts toward the red end of the spectrum, and that was how they calculated the speed galaxies where moving. learn something new everyday as they say.
I don't understand. If it alerts you once the wave hits your car and bounces off, doesn't that mean it's already too late to slow down once you've been gunned?
The worst problem regarding laser detector, is that by the time you've been targeted, they have your speed. so even if you could react it would be too late. That said though, the held models are difficult to keep steady so they continue to paint you with the laser until an accurate measurement can be made.
Linus Please answer, Am i missing something here? What about all radar detectors are a total and complete waste of money because the cop waits until your very near him as you speed along, THEN he turns it on, reads you, and youre fried. Gods speed Linus.
What about LIDAR detectors, though? I got a ticket for 90 in a 65 almost a year ago in La Mesa, CA, and the CHP used laser. I think he gave me a break though - I may have actually been going 100+. A friend got one for 105 and his ticket was ~$2k whereas mine was a bit over $400 or so. Also in my case, 25 over, was the max I could do traffic school and get the point taken off my record.
+pianoplayer88key Oh and while radar detectors are legal in my state (California), laser jammers are illegal so I can't use that method. (Also I may travel to/through Virginia sometimes, where I have family & friends there, and radar detectors are illegal there too.)
These are illegal in all states of Australia and can attract a fine of up to $6000. You will also lose 9 out of 12 demerit points. It’s also illegal in many states to own one, even if you are not using it.
Here's a follow up for you Linus. Radar detector-detectors as fast as possible (They exist, Virginia State Police have them since radar detectors are illegal in VA)
if in finland they suspect you have one of these hidden in your car, youd better hand it over them or they take your car apart a piece by piece until they finds it.
In the city, I dont really understand why people want to speed stoplight to stoplight. Often they are timed, so if you drive at the speed limit then you dont have to brake every time. See it so often where I am going the speed limit and cruising through the city with ease while some idiot in a BMW goes 20mph over the limit and has to break at every light where I barely have to adjust the gas.
+Azivegu Gosh, my city had perfectly timed lights for a long time. Then the county government pulled rank taking over control of the lights and effed everything up :-( But your comment reminded me of a time long ago when I was trying to help a guy explain this to his wife. Even expanding that she is spending more on gas & maintenance as well as increasing the chances of not making it to the destination just for the slim chance of saving a few seconds on short trips.
It's fun to go 85 MPH in a 65 zone when the whole left lane is doing it.

I always thought it was the changes in light frequency, hence doppler effect or red shift. when an object is moving towards you the light shifts toward the red end of the spectrum, and that was how they calculated the speed galaxies where moving. learn something new everyday as they say.
I don't understand. If it alerts you once the wave hits your car and bounces off, doesn't that mean it's already too late to slow down once you've been gunned?
Yeah.
That's why the detectors are a load of crap.
The worst problem regarding laser detector, is that by the time you've been targeted, they have your speed. so even if you could react it would be too late. That said though, the held models are difficult to keep steady so they continue to paint you with the laser until an accurate measurement can be made.
Lol mine detects over a mile away, around curves and over hills. Long before I'm within sight much less their range
Linus Please answer, Am i missing something here? What about all radar detectors are a total and complete waste of money because the cop waits until your very near him as you speed along, THEN he turns it on, reads you, and youre fried. Gods speed Linus.
Your radar detector should pick up signals when the cop is reading the cars in front of you
Here in Brazil we have a very effective tool to prevent speeding, it's called "terrible roads" 😂😂😂😂
+maximuscesar very effective, my street has 50km/h limit, you can't go past 20km/h, that would make you brake the suspension of even a 4x4.
love your vids keep up the good work
what’s a good jammer?
I feel like Top Gun when I driving with the radar.....the feeling that you're locked in..
@1:33 WHY GOD!!?!??!???!
1:41 of advertising on a 5:37 video?!? Wow, just wow!
I prefer a sonar detector when travelling by submersible, although it doesn't seem to work in my car.

0:12 is an aussie police car by the looks of it.
it is
Qld car
+CyberPirate2008 Uses lasers XD
What about LIDAR detectors, though? I got a ticket for 90 in a 65 almost a year ago in La Mesa, CA, and the CHP used laser. I think he gave me a break though - I may have actually been going 100+. A friend got one for 105 and his ticket was ~$2k whereas mine was a bit over $400 or so. Also in my case, 25 over, was the max I could do traffic school and get the point taken off my record.
+pianoplayer88key Oh and while radar detectors are legal in my state (California), laser jammers are illegal so I can't use that method. (Also I may travel to/through Virginia sometimes, where I have family & friends there, and radar detectors are illegal there too.)
pointless. lazer jammer is the way to go for that.
But, laser jammers are illegal in my state. :(
2:49 perfect teeth for a Signal commercial
Thanks Virginia!
Nice death rune, you play RS?
now Linus wants me to listen to audio books when im driving
my friend's one picks up trains as well as lidar. we where sitting at a train stop and the train was going by then the system was yelling train at us
+The Everyicated Gamer yeah, but it was doing it when them train was passing
they are using lasers or contact loops here. pretty hard to beat.
Wow, I did not know these even existed, who would have thought RWR would be useful in something that doesn't have missiles locking on to it.
These are illegal in all states of Australia and can attract a fine of up to $6000. You will also lose 9 out of 12 demerit points. It’s also illegal in many states to own one, even if you are not using it.
so what we need to do is make something that just sends backa faulse signal that says were going the speed limit
Spoofing is still considered jamming. And they can probably bust you for interfering with police work if the FCC doesn't hit you with a felony first.
so long as they never find out, it's not illegal ... i'm pretty sure that's in the constitution
im jokeing i dont drive in the first place
Get a high end detector and you won't have to worry about it.
Here's a follow up for you Linus. Radar detector-detectors as fast as possible (They exist, Virginia State Police have them since radar detectors are illegal in VA)
Although radar jammers are illegal everywhere, laser jammers on the other hand may not be illegal depending on where you are.
3:53 Linus in the human trafficking business now?
+Felix Brakel He aint gettin' me!
if in finland they suspect you have one of these hidden in your car, youd better hand it over them or they take your car apart a piece by piece until they finds it.
Over here in the Netherlands we have a radar detector detector (and also its highly illegal to have a radar detector)
Sometimes I don't pay attention to my speed when I look down I'm like oh shit I'm going 20 over lol
Own a V1 drive to Canada all the time from NYC. No ticket even when doing 65mph on the through way
Can you do a test of current radar detectors? See what ones are the best?
3:53
and you are doomed to fail at that
There was that time you got a ticket on camera for texting XD
0:13 is an Aussie police car from Queensland
Radar detectors are completely legal here in New Zealand, Linus! :)
Let me know when you have a Lidar detector. That is infact what is used mainly these days in Australia. (laser based not radar)
I got caught with a radar detector in Quebec and it cost me a 700$ fine, even though it was unplugged :(
So ya, knowing the local laws is a must!
Im from quebec I feel your pain
In the city, I dont really understand why people want to speed stoplight to stoplight. Often they are timed, so if you drive at the speed limit then you dont have to brake every time. See it so often where I am going the speed limit and cruising through the city with ease while some idiot in a BMW goes 20mph over the limit and has to break at every light where I barely have to adjust the gas.
+Azivegu Gosh, my city had perfectly timed lights for a long time. Then the county government pulled rank taking over control of the lights and effed everything up :-(
But your comment reminded me of a time long ago when I was trying to help a guy explain this to his wife. Even expanding that she is spending more on gas & maintenance as well as increasing the chances of not making it to the destination just for the slim chance of saving a few seconds on short trips.
