Default SAPD has new radar guns!?

I saw on the news last night that SAPD got new radar guns that they say most radar detectors will not pick up. Would these be lazer or is there something new in the cops hands?

Thanks,

could be lazer, or perhaps they are now using the European radar frequencies..
or they could be refering to POP radar...that now has 2 bands



I suspect the leading detector manufacturer's web sites might have updates on what is out there....

Newcasters are stupid and uneducated in the real world and therefore mis-speak. They are probably Lasers but the idiot only knows "those things the cops use are radar guns".

I really can't stand it when these dopes try to tell me how to live properly.

My guess is that it is a lazer, which is okay by me my 8500 X50 picks that up just fine.

Default 6th Grade reading level!

Do you "analog old school" types remember when we were in school and we were always told that newspapers were written at 6th grade reading levels? I am absolutely certain that it also applies to any and all forms of broadcast news as well. Why you ask? CUZ the reporters are functioning at their usual IQ.

I imagine that the "new" guns are "instant on" whether laser or radar.............
