I’m probably uninformed on the topic these days, but I don’t know how any radar detector is effective nowadays. The lidar they use is red dot specific, and it’s “off” until they pull the trigger on a specific vehicle. Thus there was no warning shot to pick up in advance to register on the detector.

The majority of speed enforcement is still radar. In Louisiana, it’s mostly Ka band (LSP uses 34.7 Stalker / EBR Sheriff uses 35.5 Kustom / BR City uses 34.7 Stalker / St. Gabriel uses 35.5 Kustom / Ascension Sheriff uses 34.7 Stalker) as examples for radar.

Hammond, La still has an X band gun in use.

Parts of Livingston Parish small towns still use K band.

LSP uses LIDAR as well as BR City Police and EBRSO but with Waze with what it is today, a driver who uses this app and is aware of road situations has a pretty good chance of knowing what is ahead.
