Police Traffic Radar Handbook
A Comprehensive Guide to Speed Measuring Systems

Includes microwave and laser police radar

Unfortunately many people have the misperception that police radar is infallible, it is not. This document is intended to familiarize the reader with the use and misuse of police radar by examining basic scientific and engineering principles in detail. There are numerous instances of unintentional (and a few intentional) abuses. Observing speed limits does not guarantee immunity from an undeserved ticket.

Victims of police radar, defense attorneys, prosecutors, judges, police (especially those who specialize or train others in police radar), accident reconstruction specialists, science and engineering professionals, educators and students will appreciate the detailed technical information presented on this site.

This site contains detailed technical information about microwave and laser police radar -- how police radar works, proper use, limitations, potential operator errors, and common misreadings and mistakes.

This document analyzes microwave and laser (lidar) police radar using standard electronic countermeasure (ECM) techniques -- the same way the military analyzes an opponent's (as well as it's own) electronic systems. Operator / factory manuals tell part of the story -- physics, mathematics, operational use, test data, and countermeasure techniques presented in this document describes (in detail) the entire story.

All technical information and conclusions quantifiably described using illustrations, graphs, tables, and/or mathematical formulas -- based on or derived from proven fundamental scientific and engineering principles, published factory specifications, measured data, or U.S. Government documents.
