| VEIL offers similar performance to an active laser jammer - except, unlike laser jammers - it doesn't produce jamming codes on the officer's gun.
After witnessing the use of several active laser jammers as the sole laser countermeasure, you would see that, in general, laser jammers do not offer consistent protection from all varieties of speed traps.
In many cases, a vehicle's speed is still obtainable particularly when the headlights are targeted or when the vehicle is targeted from the rear - meaning you still may be vulnerable to a potential speeding ticket.
Furthermore, LaserAtlanta, is selling several speed guns (SpeedLaser R & S) that do not alert radar detectors and are claimed to be capable of obtaining speed readings despite the use of active jamming (the exception being the Blinder Xtreme series). Don't be surprised to find additional gun manufacturers to eventually follow suit.
Since VEIL is a stealth countermeasure which significantly reduces the amount of the reflected laser light, its effectiveness is not impaired by these newer and more capable guns - in fact, VEIL's performance increases!
When used in combination with a radar detector, your detector will no longer be just a "speeding ticket notifier" - it will actually serve to protect you from police laser-lidar speedtraps and their moving violations. |
