Laser Detection Test

Laser enforcement is becoming more and more popular, as an example, the State of Hawaii does not have one radar gun, all their guns are laser!

55,000 Laser Guns in Use

It is estimated that today there are over 55,000 police laser guns in use today within the USA.

The reason is simple, radar guns cannot signal out an individual vehicle as well as laser can.

These guns transmit a beam of infrared light at a frequency of 330 terahertz. This light beam is only 18 inches wide at 500 feet and gets smaller as you approach the officer.

This narrow light beam is aimed by the officer to a reflective area on your vehicle, such as your headlamps or front license plate. The officer can only use the laser gun while he is stationary.
