But then again, what do I know?

How are you going to catch up to that laser beam since you can't detect it before it hits you and theres nothing that travels faster?
And since it takes a few millisecond or more for your jammer to kickin and send a jamming signal back, the original beam is already back at the cop car..
And btw, since lasers are line of sight, how does the detector fire the beam right back at the cops laser gun?
Now laser absorbing paint would be another matter entirely

It doesn't have to. Its a high tech range finder. But it does it two or more times, and determines the change in distance over the change in time. Simple physics.

I was actually looking at one of those last week...sustained 120mph speeds in the middle of nowhere...it may be a good idea to have a radar detector to avoid a $118 ticket.....
only 118 bucks for a 120!!!!???

In Oregon, 100+ is an automatic $1000 fine, loss of license at the scene for at LEAST 30 days, maybe longer, and possible jail time.
In comparison, the last time I heard, 95 in a 65 is around $500.
