As per above... the ones with their back door open

As soon as I caught view of them I slowed (eyesight not too bad so decent distance ) so just curious as to when the actually snap you and whether I've made my silver screen debut ?

Cheers

PS Not a beep from the snooper

*****For sale Snooper SD815is.. brilliant at picking up automatic doors, microwaves, traffic lights and burglar alarms*****

Would depend on what equipment that they were using as well.

Anyone know if that Snooper pile of **** should of picked something up if I'd been zapped ?

Without worrying you at all, I was zapped by a marked Range Rover before I could even make out what vehicle it was in the hard shoulder.

I could barely see it and I have A1 eye sight but I slowed down in case it was plod.

Of course as I got nearer it was so obvious and So too late!

SiPie,
The snooper would only picks up refracted rays, off a car in front etc. Since the operators always fire the laser at your front no plate your snooper was none the wiser.
Unfortunaly even if they do score a direct hit on your snooper and it beeps, it is only telling you that you have been caught.

3 radar detectors, and 11 points!

Yup.... Come to the conclusion that these snoopers really are a bag of sh1te

Knew they weren't 100% (or even 50%) foolproof but thought "hey they are still for Gatso's" !

Until...... coming back from the Jim Clark Rally with the infamous 'A68 gatso chain gang' and there was slight fog. Snooper gives a beep so I expect to see some supermarket doors looming and then I realise I am right next to the flippin' gatso... supposed to give you up to 100m notice... well this was literally 1 metre and it ain't muchbetter in broad daylight with zero fog either

Hmmm, just a waiting game I'm afraid mate I've still not heard anything about my run in with a parked up landi so I think I'm in the clear! I recon they were conducting a traffic speed survey and would only have gone after someone that was doing a truely criminal speed. I probably should have just asked the cops that pulled me over last night.....ah well........I'll ask whoever pulls me over tonight I really have to muffle that exhaust

I had a Valentine One that never picked these up either. All they need to do is keep you in view for 3 seconds without another vehicle or obstruction in the way to get a reading.
I also read that cameras can give false indications if operated from inside a vehicle, so why doesn't it apply to these vans?

IanW

Laser is a LOT less than 3 seconds!!

SiPie,

I reckon they've either turned the power down on the A68 Gatso oscillators, or they've introduced some stealth technology into them My SD815iS used to pick them up from anything up to 100m from behind (and from maybe 800m from the front) but now it's lucky to pick them up from around 10m from behind or 200m from the front. Road Angel is unaffected though

Get yourself a laser jammer

After you have slowed down to the correct speed and switched the unit off,give the copper a gentle wave as you go past

SiPie

Lol at scooby nutter

Brian

That could be the case mate I was beginning to think the snooper was on the blink but glad you noticed this too Guess I'll just need to get bigger brakes

Cheers

Is there any way they can prove you have used a jammer?

SiPie

Your Snooper would not have registered as most camera vans use infra-red technology. Not radar or laser.

Hello,

yes they know when your using one as their gun thing freaks out comes up with error codes.

by the time the fat assed cop has got out of his comfortable motorhome youve gone past!

Chrisgr31

I thought that with some of the Jammers the Gun was just confused and failed to get a reading. Mind you I also understand that as it fails to get a reading so infrequently Plod is likely to know what you are upto.

Having said that if a jammer works on the speed camera vans you may be better off. As generally the vans are operated by civilians and they are more likely to ignore you and why they can't get a reading, and concentrate on the next source of revenue!

Do laser jammers work then??? how much are they??? and are they legal??

And where do you get one ?

Monkeh

What i want to know is when will someone release a InfraRed jammer, as all the mobile van's wherei live use these, and at the moment there is nothing that will detect or jam them
