There is military grade paint that reflects radar beams and cannot be hit or targeted. But super expensive... great for long road trips.
Arthur Meursault Please leave.
Arthur Meursault what if ur bullets kill him while he's driving and he crashes into a family?
This guy has the charisma of a bag of kale but clearly knows his shit so I had to watch the whole thing.
He's soooooooo fucking boooooorrrrriiiiinnnnnggggggg
What is charisma?
WPXTacoMan477 Look it up
WPXTacoMan477 It's a stat in the Fallout universe. Charisma is one of the seven primary statistics in the SPECIAL character system.
SkuzzyJ I disagree. I'd like to hang out with him. He's my kind of people.
Officer: do you know how fast you were going?
No but I know you were doing 130 mph to catch up
GOLD.😂🏁
Just drop a gear and disappear
I answered no to that question once and actually had the cop say, "neither do I, my speedometer doesn't go up that high". He had been pacing me in an unmarked car. He gave me a 20 MPH over the speed limit warning ticket.
You could give the theoretical physics answer...
Officer: do you know how fast you were going?
Me: No but I know exactly where I am.
@@timothyneiswander3151 that's gold
This guy knows his specs. King of the nerds. Using brains for evil deeds, it's magical.
I'd like to tell you that blocking yourself from revenue generators for the government is not evil. Speeding fines do not increase public safety. They generate government revenue.
@@kingofallmen1 -- You're ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. The cops are just there to generate revenues from motorists.
Actually, in Michigan, speeding is a non-criminal offense (classified by MCL 761, "Crime means"), as it classified as a "civil infraction".
Ergo, no cop has the probable cause necessary to arrest anyone for merely exceeding the posted speed limit.
Statutes do not trump the constitution.
@@g.v.harvey7425 i do respesct your opinion, but your opinion is subjective. Do you really believe that the police are out there to write tickets in order to create revenue? Ill admit, more than likely there are some out there who do infact require quotas to create revenue. That being said...its not illegal. The moral debate is another story. Common sense will tell you that simple basic laws regarding diving are being broken regularly on a daily basis. If a quota needs to be met, right, wrong, or indifferent, it doesnt change the fact that a law was broken. Quotas or not, if you break the driving laws, then are pulled over and issued a citation (for a legite reason) simply qccept it (assuming the officer is correct and you are not a liar) and fight another day(
the dark arts baby
i was hoping for some diy tips man lol
Raymond J that doesn't exist. You want to dodge radars and detect cops you're gona pay a premium
thats why i moved to the country lol there arent many cops and can can haul but no traffic either lol
Raymond J not really any tips beyond the electronics. Even alot of electronics don't work anymore. And they're not foolproof. Cops don't turn radars on until they see you anymore so it wont detect.
Raymond J in the country theres still cops everywhere ive been
the odds are waaay better out in the sticks lol
years ago a friend of mine in the Army who had been an Air force radar countermeasures expert built a radar jammer for me that I could set the speed I wanted the cops radar gun to say. it was totally illegal because it actually transmitted a stronger pulse at the Doppler shift of the speed I wanted. worked flawlessly.
We need to hear more of that story!
it was big one of those roof top storage containers big. radar detects the Doppler shift of the radar beam aimed at the car the frequency of that shift is known. when the radar is detected (pulse received) it transmitted a stronger pulse at the Doppler shift for that speed, that pulse overrode the actual reflected pulse indicating the desired speed. weighed a couple hundred pounds.
michael mooney can he make me one
I haven't seen him since 93. I have heard rumors he's building a active stealth system that can make a B-52 disappear, I've heard they made a B-52 disappear from air traffic control radars multiple times. apparently it pisses ATC off.
I'll take things that didn't happen for 100 Alex.
this guy is pretty much lester from GTA5
Gerben van Luenen just not a creep
hundo bundo yup
uuuuhhh no. Lesters stuff always worked
oh my friggin god!!! it was a game on a screen lester never existed exit the basement at once!! theres real people that you can meet and converse with try it you might like it
😂😂😂
Am I the only here who literally has no idea what he’s talking about but somehow watched the whole thing and loved it lmao
Forrest - the kind of guy to get pulled over and tell the cop that he is using sub-par equipment.
Clint Gliford hahaha bravo
😂😂😂
Donovan Greene what are you doing with my name!?
Clint Gliford If the equipment was sub par he would not have been pulled over.
+Richard Nygaard Sure he would, they are half- ass guessing at your speed anyway.
9 minuets and I have no idea what he said lol
Chris Loew the only thing i understood was microwave oven
Who knew Greek would sound so good...
IQ must be this high to ride ☝️☝️☝️
the vid was over b4 i could understand anything lol
He was simply explaining in simple terms the progression of highway speed control devices and the frequency names they worked on over the years whether it be considered they worked on what you might call sound or light. Y’all should listen in school or if you’re like me, start searching and learning after school!
For anyone curious. The ultimate countermeasure setup is a Uniden R1 or R3 radar detector and AntiLaser Priority laser jammers with 5 heads(3 front 2 rear). There is no surface treatment in the world proven to be effective against police radar/laser.
is the uniden r7 (or whatever the newest model is) the best out there now?
@@cocainecowboy1717 yes
@@cocainecowboy1717 its actually the r8 now
@@ClockworkFlips bet
Laser is beatable , radar is not. Since laser deals with visual light, jammers send an IR signal out that confuses the laser gun, but you start messing with radar, you're gonna have the fcc on your ass, vs FDA for laser (yep , food and drugs admin)
I found a typo in the script
4:33 "The FCC is sometimes a tyrannical organization"
I think you meant Always.
I once took the lens off of a laser pointer.
rudy torres wat happened
He can't see anymore
Hahahahahaha
rudy torres just curious what do the lens do?
Jay Zee as far as I know to make so there is a point than act like a flashlight that spreads out
This is the first time I've seen this guy on here but he's one of those rare people who are extremely knowledgeable and also down to Earth. I like it.
And able to bore the shit out of anyone on any topic under the sun due to his crippling autism making him unable to know when he's on a good subject or losing the audience.
bashpr0mpt you clearly just aren’t educated enough to understand what he’s saying.
He could possibly be Top Gear US's James May. I never got bored of his lecture on radar guns. My favourite was when he was talking about radar gun jammers LMAO. Best crap ever invented to skip fines. 🤣 I'd love to make one out of a bunch of electric stuff because they are ofcourse illegal to buy. But nobody has said anything of build yourself isn't it? 😏
Most Cats that i know like this usually make the absolute best race car, motorcyclist or Fighter Pilots..meaning that they're usually calm under pressure and make smooth & successful deliberate actions without incident!
Drive what appears to be an unmarked police car. Plenty available at public auctions. Wear a trooper style hat and some mirror aviators.
The thing with that though is every cop who sees you has their eyes glued to you trying to figure you out.
D.E.B. B and wave ( fingers off the wheel style, not Forrest Gump on the shrimp boat style) when you see a cop. They will wave back.
@@SonnyGTA This is true! I owned a car lot and had bought a retired Ford Crown Victoria Fire Department Chief's car. It was well marked still with the stickers as they had not removed them! As a dealer, there was no license plate in front just a single dealer tag in back so I left the 911 tag in front! I was doing 100 mph on a back country road when I came across an intersection with a Sheriff sitting there! He simply waved at me and I waved back and kept going! WOO HOO! Pure adrenaline rush!
What happens when your going 130 with no lights or sirens?
Well, they’re looking for the Crown Vic guys, I have a white Taurus, nobody bats an eye.
"it worked until I broke it."

The STALKER radar gun! Says it all. Perfectly describes the Police's attitude to motorists.
Veles detector lmao
Forrest is the man! He was pivotal in preparing the car for the 28:50 run, he and Dave had a valiant second place run in the 2015 2904, and he and I had a great winning run in the C2C Express in 2016. Definitely a Cannonball legend.

Your why this video is familiar lol
Man, Lester looked so different when he was younger.
kmsl gta 5
in the early days of laser detectors you used to be able to buy "laser calibration units" that sent out their own laser signal set to whatever speed you wanted, since it was to make sure your laser gun was reading correctly - use was regulated by FCC ... but it was a great counter measure

Radar detector, radar jammer, fancy paint but not worth it, 3rd party map apps, police scanner.
A bunch of gear and little bit of hopes and dreams.
stephenvaldes no, not really.
Noooo I learned nothing.
Easy solution. Drive a Delorean.
EXACTLY LIKE WTF
In Aug of 1991, I and a good friend were being stationed in Washington state from the east coast. We left Virginia and three days later we pulled into our new base. We used the Tec if the day (radar detector ) binoculars and a CB / ham radio along with a pre-programmed scanner to run 115 for three straight days to get there on time. We managed to boil the transmision in SD with the thinning air and long flat ground slowing us to run up to 119 the point just before the govner would cut the throttle on the Z24 we were running in. That is when we figured out 115 and below was the magic number for not boiling the transmission. Some of the best days of my life.
That's Fukn hilarious! Tht reminds me of when I used to hall ass from Bragg to Connecticut on Friday it's a 13 hr ride but made it in 8-9 hrs than do the samething back Sunday night to make it for formation Monday morning! Those were the days for me also!
I didn't understnad one thing he said and I love it
Hi, my name is Forrest, and I'm about to speak to you in code.
The '98 to '04 Camaro was surprisingly low profile to radar with the long sloping curved steel hood that covered all in front. You had to be very close for them to see you, and by that time, you had seen them and slowed to under the limit.
damn "change traffic lights" this man really is lester from GTA5
the fly got me
Loving the technical aspect of the run almost as much as the record setting part.
I can't imagine driving around in a car with all those gadgets in it. Bliss.
Jiggawhatt?
ShwoopiDoopi
Looks well placed... don't think it would be much of an issue. I think the issue would be getting pulled over for having your vision blocked! A ticket or being pulled over for having too many gadgets attached to your windshield... or getting pulled over in a smaller town by the Sheriff asking you: "what are you doing with all that crap boy!?!?"
Brett Bilger b😀
Well, I bet it'd be a lot cheaper than to buy it lol
He's very intelligent,dedicated and knowledgeable about his thing.
Downvotes proves most people don't like studying, didn't dedicated themselves to learn and are lazy or fucked up somehow
Don’t over think it 😂
this is what's missing in the kids today. That fire and passion to figure something out. tithe passion to commit oneself to the journey of finding the answer.
thanks for the write up
Hold up... you can hack traffic lights? I MUST KNOW
Yes. If fire trucks and shit can do it, you can too
i-Spec it is an infrared device, kind of like a remote control, that triggers the lights to immediately turn yellow and then green.

Looked into it, I believe it's a felony in most states FYI.

This is sooooo cool. When I buy an exotic, I need to find a guy like this.
P WrightisRight you dont need an extoic car to go fast lol
Trust me. You can’t afford an exotic car
You don't need to find a guy LIKE him, you need to find HIM.
It should come included with any purchase over $50k
13/hr for flipping burgers? Holy shit leme get that job
more forrest! i can listen to him talk about the tech side of this for ages
You can tell this guy is just brilliant.
This is awesome! These guys weren't fooling around. LOL at "Bacon Blocker" on the printed circuit board!!!!!!! XD
if it sends back way to high if your doing 100mph and it hit you and sends it back at 200 he will think its broke XD
I need to get one and make it say if I am doing 50 it sends back that I am doing 500 just to fuck with cops.
Conner Mars Or make it in the thousands, 60mph is 60,000mph 😂
most top out at 999 or a lot less
over 9000
Conner Mars goes to court “you were doing 345 in a 65” imagine the price tag on a ticket like that hahaha
Holy hell there is a lot more to this than I thought
I know people have basic rador/laser countermeasures when doing the cannonball but I didn't even think about the fact that in different states and counties, the frequencies for the transponders would be different. That is one hell of a tough job for a single run.
The scanners were for monitoring the police radio.
*this dude looks like the bad guy from iron man 3 lol*
A man on a mission and he keeps seeking the next radar thrill Enjoyed the video
How do you make your car invisible to cops?
"Well, actually we still have no idea, but screw it, we'll put out a video anyway!!"
No idea is a 100% he listed several ways but at the end of the day that last 10% of protection is hope and dreams.
noahsalak hahahahahahahahah
This guy is like the sign in back ground he is pure Octane!! Man smart from to word go ..wow just amazing man I could listen to him talk all day
that's awesome that he showed some of the code. Didn't expect that he would have written it in Go
so, you had this powder that was at least optically opaque to the laser, and it stopped working after a week or two ? was it applied with some clear coat ? interesting, I did some research into the same concept for radar, vary concentrations of metal particles layered in a rubber matrix seems to work, it is also applied to stealth submarines and the retired Lockheed SR-71 spy plane, there actually quite a few different approaches using particles and insulators in combination that can be tuned to certain frequencies, a lot of work has gone into this, I have some of the papers on it.
What concentrations work best, to your knowledge?
LMAO. I love this channel and some of the comments have me rolling from week-to-week.
You gotta see Wes Watson's comments ! Gold!
I like this guy's story :) He knows what he is talking about. Tech for the win \o/
The Cobra Daytona Coupe replicas currently being sold have a low frontal area and a body of compound curves. The aluminum body version (Kirkham) is more reflective but body shape diffuses radar . The fiberglass reinforced plastic bodies (Superformance, Factory Five)are nearly transparent to radar so the radar detects the radiator, engine & etc. If one were made with energy absorbing graphite fiber reinforced plastic it should be able to get a lot closer before being detected. It would help to register in a state with no front license plate and install daytime covers on the headlights and fog lights.
Yes, this is why Corvettes weren't more invisible to radar. The radiator, the core support, and the front of the frame had many reflective surfaces that were just visually hidden behind fiberglass.
The FCC won't let me be, let me speed free
I don't know why but I love dry story telling and find it extremely interesting. I could tell the dude was extremely nervous but he seems to know his stuff, I look forward to more information. I always have wondered about electronic countermeasures for your personal vehicle he seems to bring clarity to the issue. I have read about devices in Europe that let you know when certain frequencies are being used in you vicinity but have never heard if it has become available on the US market yet.
Brilliant. Clearly something that you (he) is passionate about. Thanks for the video.
Great video. love the channel, but i do have a gripe about the extreme experience plug at the end. I've done it. It was fun as hell, and their rite; there is no speed limit but there is a professional driver in the passenger seat telling you how fast you can and cant go. So just keep that in mind if you want to do the extreme experience.
"How do you make your car invisible to cops?"
Leave it in your garage.
"It worked until i broke it"

I’ve been wondering if certain cars are less visible to radar and lasers. I have a Black 2012 VW CC and commute between 85-90 mph over 130 miles per day and so far haven’t had any issues. Could this be the car?
In my opinion my 600 AMG roadster is either invisible or it's so fast they can't catch it. 😎😎😎
Me : adds this to watch later

Do you know where i can fimd the contium transfunctioner!
I know this video is old, but I've basically stopped using my Uniden scanner and switched it out for an SDR, that way I can program a bunch of frequencies and listen to what I need to. I find it easier to use and a lot more powerful. I'd check it out if you already haven't.
But, Thanks for the video!
I forgot to mention that there's also plugins/programs that allow you to listen to the digital radios, like the Motorola X2, P25 codecs and more. Easy enough to put on a laptop and drive around (not that I've done that: >:D ) The waterfall view is excellent so you can see what frequencies are utilized. I'm sure you guys will have fun and I hope to see you guys make another run with some upgraded tech like that. Should make it easier for you all not to program 1000 frequencies into the Uniden. Once again, thanks for all your content and entertainment. I very much enjoy my dose of Vinwiki each day. If you guys have any questions with SDR or something I can help with (Software engineer by day, hardware hacker by night!), please feel free to reach out.
@@NicholasDeLisi what are your thoughts on the red light changer
@@un_civilized never looked into it, but I'd wait at a busy intersection near a hospital, with an IR sensor and SDR, you're going to have to play around to see what is sent and which frequency. You'd might blips on the SDR if it's digital, which would be binary data. From there, you'd have to reverse engineer the data being sent. If it's just IR or a radio signal, then you would just have to find the right frequency and light spectrum.
Where do i get that radar gun paint from?

I think motorways or highways should have no speed limit. Like the autobahn. And if you drive slow you should get a ticket because they are the ones that cause accidents.
Almost thoguth I was listening to a DEFCON talk for a while here, but hey, it’s VINWiki! How two hobbies cross over is just awesome 😎
I have a question, i have a laser "Blinder " that i bought a few years ago for my motorcycle. Do ya know anything about them, do they work, are they illegal now, it it worth me putting it on my new bike now?
I have a suspicion my old yellow '73 Nova went under the radar. The reason I say this is, I've gone 25-30mph over the speed limit passed cops many times, and not once has one ever pulled out. That by itself didn't convince me. What did, was that every time I'd go passed those signs on the side of the road that read your cars speed, they would never read my car until I was litterally right on top of them, and they'd always read 10-20mph lower than I was actually going.
I never figured out why this happened, but it was cool.
Wait...what? Can you run that by me again?

Yeah but other than messing with the license plates how do you evade a camera that triangulates your speed based on video frames.
How to make yourself invisible to the cops? Drive a prius 😂
Waze can make it so much easier now. I drove from Detroit to Tennessee a couple of months back in 41/2 hours using it and never had a cop not listed on there. Only ones you gotta worry about is cops who have just entered the interstate.
