Do lidar speed radars take photos?

Do lidar speed radars take photos?

When they target a speeder do they take a photo of the car to enable a fine to be sent, or are they only there for the police to check speeds then chase if necessary. And do they allow for speedos to be out by 5%.

Thanks for the answer Jim but I really just want to know whether lidar radars take photos of speeding cars and do they allow for speedo differences, as I'm worried my speedo may be out and I think I passed one the other day but I am sure that I was doing the correct speed but I also know that speedos can be out and cameras allow for this, so do radars?

Some of the newer units do have that ability but your probably mostly gonna see those in bigger markets due to cost there very expensive.If you were speeding they're gonna chase you down and ticket you on the spot . Not mail you a fine.

Although they do have camera mounts here for running red lights where they'll mail you a fine, but not for speed enforcement not here at least.

You can tell the laser guns there always the cops where there down there like 007 hangin out there door. Or it looks like there watching a peep show.

Kinda funny though because they have to see you to aim it plus the beams so much smaller than radar. They aim radar too but it covers a much larger area not as precise. Plus you never see them using laser at hardly any angle. Basically if your paying attention and in traffic and speeding you have a good chance to slow down before they get you. Meaning they have to have a good line of sight to record you. If they can see you. You can see them. If they have 3 or 4 cars coming toward them. All they can do is use a educated guess as to who to target first. Maybe the guy in the left lane, the sports car or the guy with gold 22 inch rims.

Now for my speeders tip of the day. The easiest way to know if there's a cop around a corner or the other side of a hill. All you have to do is watch for brake lights of the cars in front of you. Dead giveaway and everyone brakes for the cops.

Lidar measures how fast your going as well as your following distance of the car in front of you. That way the cop can get you for speeding and tailgating
