[W126 Coupe] My Car

[Shayegan, Richard]

I thought that all of the laser gun operation manuals recommend that for
accurate measurement the clocking should start from 1000ft. Is this not
correct? I realize 5000ft would be hard in real life, but in a bench
vise the laser guns have ranges of around 4800ft (varying by model of
course). Well, if you aren't in CA (I don't think laser jammers are
illegal in MA yet) get yerself a Blinder Xtreme M-20 (well, don't
actually because they are coming out with a new one at the end of the
month that will also jam the newest laser Atlanta stealth gun at any
distance). That, plus a Scorpion radar jammer (just don't get caught
with it) should make you invisible to everything but VASCAR (and the
subjective reckless driving charge).

BTW, you put cop in quotation marks. Is cop a derogatory term? I didn't
think it was, but what do I know (isn't it just short of constable on
patrol?)

First of all if the "cop" is targeting you at 5000 feet he has to have
some
good steady hands and aim.  Not that it can't be done!  There is no
minimum
anywhere that I'm aware of, so the 1000 ft thing is out!  Now a Mercedes
SEC
is (A Big Target), a lot of spots to get a hit from!
As a side note, Jeeps (for some reason) make the best targets!  Besides
he
("cop") is more likely to see you first and then your toast!

No you wouldn't. Well you would to get the range down to zero, but the
headlights and front plate alone will drop the range from like 5000ft to
800ft. Hopefully by the time you are 800ft away you'll see the cop, plus
IIRC the cop using laser is supposed to track the car starting when he's
1000ft away, which could give you 200ft where he's pointing it right at
you but he isn't getting a reading. Since you'll most likely only get a
laser warning if it's pointing right at you, this could be useful.

You would have to paint the whole car!

Laser absorbent paint. Greatly reduces the range of an officer's laser
gun.
