HOW RADAR WORKS
HOW LASER WORKS

Radar and laser scramblers are devices that foil speed traps by making vehicles electronically “invisible” to police radar. Radar scramblers mix a portion of the radar signal with background clutter and reflect it back to the squad car. This technique, pioneered by Rocky Mountain Radar, creates an unreadable signal that confuses the computer inside the radar gun. The laser scrambler in the Phazer works in a similar manner. It transmits a special infrared beam with information designed to scramble the laser signal. The result? Readouts on police radar and laser guns remain blank. As far as the police officer is concerned, your vehicle is not even on the road.

In some cases, an officers radar is progammed to show only those traveling over a certain speed. If there is no reading, you are not speeding. I once talked to a few buddies that are cops, and how they determine WHEN they pull you over? Don't Laugh, this is a true story. They drop numbered pieces of paper into a hat, from 6-to??. They all pull one, and that number over the limit, is WHEN they will stop you for speeding. Silly, but this is what theyt told me. They could have been kidding around, but we were all having a pretty good time.

BASICALLY
Police radar takes five to 10 measurements of a vehicle’s speed in about one second. The device sends one signal that tells the Police radar the car is going 15 m.p.h. and another signal that the car is going 312 m.p.h. Because police radar can’t verify the speed, it usually displays no speed at all. To the radar gun, your car isn’t even on the road. Works with laser, too! The device also protects your vehicle from Lidar guns that use the change in distance over time to detect a vehicle’s speed. The device uses Infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to fire invisible pulses through the windshield. Laser guns interpret those pulses as a false indication of the car’s distance, blocking measurement of your speed. Again, it’s as if your car isn’t even on the road.

Its range of effectiveness should extend to almost 100 feet away from the police car, at which point you should be able to make visual contact and reduce your speed accordingly.

REALLY THOUGH:
An officer can use his/her eye sight to determine if you are speeding in any case. If you are barreling past every other car on the road, then there is no need for any of these devices, because the officer can plainly see it. It is only legalities, and loop-holes that makes this hard to beat in court. If the law was inforced this way from the beginning, these devices would not be needed on either sides of the law.

WHAT DOES VG-2 CLOAKING REALLY DO?
VG-2 cloaking sinmply shuts down your detectors ablity to detect radar for a short period of time. Since VG-2 is made to detect your detector's oscillator, VG-2 cloaking simply shuts your detector down so the oscillator is not emitting a signal. This is why you can still detect Laser while VG-2 Cloaked.

LEGALITIES:
Is such a device perfectly legal? Some radar devices have been outlawed because they transmit "scrambling" radar beams back to the waiting law enforcement vehicle. The Phazer II (I researched some of these devices), however, reflects a portion of the signal plus an added FM signal back to the police car. This, in effect, gives the waiting radar unit an electronic “lobotomy.” Best of all, unless you are a resident of: California, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Virginia, or Washington D.C., using the Phazer II is completely within your legal rights, as are detectors.

ULTIMATELY:
Encourage responsible driving. While the device is designed to help you avoid speed traps, it is not intended to condone excessive speeding.
