This post may be rather long winded. Please forgive me.

Basically I was thinking about speed detection and ways to avoid it while driving the other day. I understand speeding is dangerous but people should use their own judgement in what they're doing. There's a difference between going 80 in a 65 and 120 in a 65. And there are some things that can seriously help you avoid a pricey ticket from our friendly state/highway patrol officers.

Here they are:

- Radar / Lasar Detector
- Looking with your eyes
- Not speeding
- Special clear plate cover (has a chemical on it that a camera cannot see through to take a snapshot, but to the naked eye it looks clear)

I was thinking besides just speed detection detection, there are other ways less looked at than the contemporary.

I've seen a read about lasar scramblers where when a police officer tries to clock you with the gun it comes back and reads as an error message. I've gathered from this method that it uses another type of laser signal to absorb the laser instead of letting it bounce off your car, when the signal comes back and is read by the gun it comes up as an error message.

Another idea/theory is that most police cars in America have GPS navigation or at least some sort of transmitter that tells the dispatcher/station where they are. Using a laptop and you're own GPS receiver, could it not be possible to pick up cars in say, a 5 mile radius with GPS signals coming from them. That's the easier part, the harder part would be distinguishing a civilian vehicle from that of a government vehicle. I wouldn't doubt there is probably some prefix or suffix on the ID# code coming out of the GPS receiver that identifies itself to the satellite as a government vehicle.

Maybe I'm just dillusional but if anyone has any further input for this I'd be interested to hear it.
