As the weather gets nicer the Lidar guns come out.
The V1 has been shown to pick up scatter a bit better than the Escort....but if you did not get scatter from someone else, you are toast. I have an Escort 8500 x50 and I have been lasered and picked up scatter. So far, no tickets....probably mostly just lucky though.
Laser jammers are legal in most states. They use led's to confuse the beam and there are effective ones on the market.
Mount your detector low on the windshield in the middle since they usually try to hit your plate.
Veil works good for your headlights but I do not like it...it's a pain in the butt and lessens your lighting ablilty.
You can put a Lasersheild on your plate, but in most states they are illegal, although they are quite difficult to see unless you are really looking for them.
