For states that do not require front plates, I suppose you would just aim at the bumper right? In Florida, people don't need front plates or front bumpers?

The only vehicles that would give a somewhat accurate reading from aiming at the windshield IMO would be the Scion XB or a Jeep.

Im sorry, but a windsheild would not be a viable source to get a reading off.. a windsheild is like a diamond when a laser is pointed at it,

Here's a science experiment for you, Take a red laser pen, and a diamond or cubic

circonium, and shine the laser thru it... does it get a fine point on the wall after it??

no ur prolly seeing that laser go in 3000 different locations.. (dont try to argue that

the laser gun doesnt use red light, it still use's a wavelength of light that travels on an

invisible wavelength. one to the naked eye)

to get an accurate reading you will need a flat surface that is vertical, and that is not

transparent or else what happens??? light will travel thru it!, hence why the Front

License plate is used, and for the states that dont require a front plate, the best

place to get a reading would be the middle section of the bumper, and or grill..

/turns rant off, gosh kids not payin attention in science class..

I'm waiting for the almighty laser experts to chime in and disagree with you because they have been studying lasers since infancy and they used to be a cop in laserville.

Almighty laser experts, why does a cd/dvd sit level to a laser? Shouldn't it be angled?

*crickets* Looks like the laser experts are too busy playing with light refraction to respond.

laser experts or not, the fact is they don't have real life experience with the things. It's a lot diffrent being a cop and using a radar/laser gun and being someone who repairs/works on them.

Now make radar dectectors legal and car mofications legal. Virginia, these are not revolutionary ideas. 49 other states allow both

Well I use a computer everyday, does that make me Bill Gates when it comes to computers? Just because some of you guys have used, held or even played with these devices, there is no need to start throwing words like "idiots" or "fucktard" to people who have valid points. You guys make it seem like you are laser gods because you get so defensive when someone disagrees with you.


Lowprofile: As long as Virginia is considered a "Commonwealth" state, dumb ass exhaust laws and no radar detectors will remain.
