Black bra's defeat laser detection?

Haboob · 11-20-2013, 07:44 AM

A black bra or matte vinyl wrap wouldn't work, IMO.

You need something that will absorb the light/LASER, a black bra still reflects it. Unless you can get your hands on the highly-secretive military aircraft paint they use for stealth, I think your best bet is to get a LASER jammer, or just drive slower.

Sounds like something a sales person or politician would say. Its absolutely meaning less. And radar bounces off the metal on your car and is not really effected by plastics. If radar and lasers were that simple to counter the military would just matte vinyl wrap their jet fighters.

There is some truth in that a matte vs a polishes surface is less reflective to light and offers some small benefit, i'm sure it's negligible with the power a laser is putting out.

Even if it doesn't bounce back, the cop can still eye ball your speed. It's happened to my wife before, he said he guessed that she was going over the limit because she was passing other cars.

Man! I can't remember wether she had a bra on or not but I haven't been nailed in a car since high school.

The article says that even the best radar/laser detectors do not really work with cops using the latest laser detectors. Sure, your detector goes off but its too late. Guy says the most you can do is reduce the reflective surfaces that lasers are aimed at, generally, the license plate/front area.

They look ugly but if they can help?

I can picture this is Mr.ZeeBabar in the Z tomorrow.....
