was reasonably useful. Says the laser guns have to be consistently targeting one part of your vehicle for the speed reading to be accurate. Which is basically impossible.

Also talked about how they can be incorrectly aligned. This means the red dot the police officer sees to aim his laser does not coincide with where the laser actually goes. So they can correctly target one car, but measure the speed of another close by.
