Radar Detector vs Laser Guns?
I got a Escort Solo 2 Cordless Radar Detector in my car. Lately I have noticed that when I pass New York State troopers with laser guns, my radar doesn’t detect it (luckily I am not a speed demon 
So I wonder, is it broke or outdated against certain lasers (and if so, what should I get to detect them)?
Current laser speed detectors are only active for the fraction of a second that a police officer “lases” your vehicle. This only happens if s/he decides you might be speeding and pulls the gun’s trigger to check. Unless the copper is in the act of checking your speed, the radar detector has nothing to detect.
Even if the officer is checking your speed, a laser beam is very narrow, and is still likely to go undetected. So at best the most high tech laser detectors will maybe let you know you’ve already been caught
Most likely, these guys see you driving a reasonable speed while approaching their traps, so they never “lase” your vehicle. Hence your detector is working fine, just nothing to detect!
