Radar warning devices never made it big in Europe. Mostly due to the many different frequencies used by the radar devices. Sometimes instead of radar time measurement between two thin rubberhoses on the street or between two lightbeams is used to trigger the cameras. Hard to beat. What we do here is replace the rear numberplate fixing screws by two strong infrared leds. Those blind the cameras in a way that in court the picture has no value as proof.
