Police here use LTI Marksman or the UltraLyte laser speed guns. These two only requre one shot to give an accurate reading as they take 42 readings and average them. If 5 or more pulses are invalid the device errors out which is why the quick deccel might help as this would throw off the measurement. However, all of this happens in .3 seconds so unless you see him before he shoots you youre not going to have time to brake. As the gun can take a reading in .3 seconds this would in fact allow an officer to get three separate reading in under a second. Pretty hard to beat in court. These units can also take a reading up to 3500 feet away but the laser size at 1000 feet is 3 feet in diameter so I imagine with that math it would be 9 feet at 3000 feet which might be an argumnt point if there were other cars on the road. All units are tested before and after shifts as per MFG specs and case law states that as long as these tests are done the reading is acceptable in court. Once again good luck. Radar equpment is rarely used anymore because of the time it takes and the large inacuracy if any other cars are on the road.

P.S. Im not a cop but am quite intimate with one.
