Let’s see if these $100,000+ a year guys can find their own radar gun! If not, are the taxpayers on the hook as usual for this officer’s carelessness?

LIDAR is not radar. This is a laser speed gun, not a radar device. In fact, here’s the device pictured: http://www.lasertech.com/UltraLyte-Laser-Speed-Guns.aspx
