^ yeah, no kidding...

i haven't noticed any clear braed cars evading my gun. i mean if anything i pull over more cars with it cause anyone who would bother generally either has a nice car, or likes to drive their car.

either way, i would say that there is no method that will fool the guns that are used now. i would say that you best bet of not getting a ticket while speeding is to get pulled over by a cop who is in love with the car that you drive.

Is he nuts or is there a grain of truth in how the clear mask and color might diffuse the laser beam?

I thought LIDAR is laser.
It is basically same damn thing, just acouple new tricks over old lazer. But lazers a bitch and there is one great method to beat lazer and thats a lazer jammer. Some cops and other peeps who dont know what they are talking about will say these lazer jammers dont work, well if they dont work them why are the illegal? And ftw we took the ZR4 on a test with a LAPD bud of mine, and he couldnt clock me for shit ^^

You mean the military spent billions for stealth technology and all they had to do was put tape on their planes? Stupid government.
At least the government is bright enough to realize they need stealth to try and evade radar and not laser, which is what the OP is talking about.

Yes, I knew that going in, but I didn't think anyone would be nerdy enough to get upset about it. It's called humor, or at least attempted humor. Try to lighten up dude.

well I'm sure his clear mask isn't doing jack except maybe cutting the reflectivity a tad. but a front plate (if he has one) and headlights will still provide plenty of reflectivity.
That said, I'm sure you could create a film that absorbs the proper frequency and essentially makes lidar ineffective against your car. They make all kinds of dyes for that purpose. It would just take money, time, and lots and lots of know how.
