Can a Police Officer use a Radar Gun to clock speed of a car while the Police Officer is driving?
Of course they can all they have to do is hold the radar gun with one hand and the wheel with the other
Does officer need to show the radar in California?
Nope. The radar is only a confirmation of the officer's visual estimation.
Can a police officer hide while using a radar in Louisiana?
As far as I know it isn't illegal anywhere for a police officer to hide, its not considered entrapment unless you're being tricked into doing something you wouldn't normally do. So yes, they can hide while using radar.
What radar is a New generation of weather radar that is capable of detecting motion directly?
Doppler Radar
Can a Police Officer use Radar to clock the speed of a car while the Police Officer is driving?
The answer is "yes." Traffic radar monitors both the speed of the vehicle in which is it mounted and the speed of "target" vehicles coming toward or moving away from it. On the radar display, the officer sees two speeds: "patrol" (the speed of his vehicle) and "target" (the speed of the vehicle the radar is tracking). the target speed measurement is equally accurate, whether the patrol vehicle is moving or not.
When a police officer uses radar speed for control the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic waves?
Radar uses radio waves.
What do you need to find the speed of an object in motion?
radar gun
Can radar work when police in motion?
No. With police officers in motion, it would appear that cars would be going slower. Say that a car is going 50 MPH, and you are going 45 MPH. Eventually the vehicle wil be ahead of you. Now say you are a police officer with radar. If you test this car, it will appear (on radar) that the 50 MPH car is only going 5 MPH, thus to get the accurate speed, you must be going 0 MPH.Disagree. The original police radar required a stationary unit. Radar is use for the past 30 years is capabable of adding or deducting the speed of the police car from the observed speed. It does not require that the police car be in one fixed spot.Added: The second cotributor is correct. I seriously doubt that any of the old radar units are still in operation much less certifiable as accurate. ALSO: the term "radar" is a commonly used by the the public to describe ALL police speed-clocking devices. Any of these can be calibrated to be used while the vehicles are in motion.
Can a police officer hide while using a radar in California?
Yes, he can sit in an area that is out in the open, but not where you would expect him. The CHP have cars that from a distance you can not tell it is a police officer until they come right near you. The all white SUV's are particularly hard to tell from a distance and the radar they have on the cars can go both front and back at a long distance. Once you see one it is too late if his radar gets you.

What is the different of a telescope and radar?
Radar is used to track things, while the telescope can only magnify or see things from a far distance. Radar is visible, while a telescope is not. Telescopes are old, radar is new (:
