do police helicopters have heat sensors or heat seekers on them?
339706
I'm confused.  Some law enforcement aircraft have infared detection gear that senses gradient temperatures...the DEA for example uses this technology for interdicting drug shipments...is that what you're talking about or are you tallking about heat seeking weapons on police helicopters?

The answer is yes. They do it all the time in hawaii and other places. look it up on the internet. The thing is that the marijuana plant puts out a heat signature, so one marijuana plant in a field of other green things the police helicopter that was equpied with infrared could spot it. Its not very likely they will find it unless you live somewhere where the police do flybys alot. As for in your house, yeah your grow light will put off a heat signature also but the police arent gonna fly over and automatically come bustin down the door untill they know for sure, because anything puts out heat in your house. The washer, dryer, stove, your shower, and just lights. So they cant really tell anything in your house. Hope this helps

A Laser jammer uses a infra-red LEDs or laser diodes to distort the signal of the police lidar gun.\n\nA great place to find out about laser jamming products results would be to go to the websites I linked below: http://guysoflidar.com/index.html\nhttp://guysoflidar.com/radar-detector-laser-jammer-shootout-2005/laser-jammer-tests.html\nhttp://guysoflidar.com/laser-jammer-test-july-2005/index.html\nRocky Mountain Radar products do NOT work!\nhttp://www.radarjammer.com/\n\nYou can see some videos of Laser jammers and Laser stealth coating here:\nhttp://www.laserveil.com/cool%5Fvideos/

In the states (Nevada), a police vehicle is recognized as an emergency vehicle regardless if the lights & siren are on or not. The reason is that a police vehicle approaching a crime scene may need to approach without broadcasting his presence, yet may still speed. For fire & ambulance, the lights and sirens must be activated for the vehicle to have an emergency status.

as for insurance purposes, I dunno, but as for all the complaints, those areas are called UFO 'hotspots', the hotspots are centered around Groom Lake in New Mexico, the so-called Area 51, dunnp why this is, but stealth aircraft are developed and tested there.

I believe it is at the commander's discretion except when out in the field. Generally, in cooler weather or at night I keep mine on the tightest button, to keep in warmth, or to keep out bugs. \n\nDuring a Heat CAT 5, they have to come unbuttoned, and pants unbloused, and I believe that a heatCAT 4 says that they must be on the last button. I don't think I've ever seen it in AR 670-1, but if there's a reg on uniforms, it's going to be there.

This is just simply from thinking, but here is my hunch.\n\n1.) It usues multiple sensors ie, sonar, cameras to align itself to the parking spot.  These sensors calculate distance, have the ability to get a visual on the targeted spot etc. Then the programming takes the rest.  \n\n2.) It's all about the sensors you have! Ask yourself this question...How does a heat seaking rocket follow a target?\nSensors sensors sensors! and a bit of programming of course!

Pursuit driving is a double edged sword on one hand their are public safety issues. But on the other hand you have the issue that if you allow people who are committing crimes to drive off it will not be long before no one is stopping for the police. As far as using police helicopters they are wonderful tools if your department is big enough to afford one. The bottom line is if you pursue you are putting the public at risk BUT if you don't pursue and allow criminals to drive off haven't you  just put the public at risk also? Some food for thought it is not the officer that initiates the pursuit. The officer initiates a traffic stop the criminal by choosing to run initiates the pursuit.

What kind of detector?

For a truly accurate answer (as I know thou must be seeking here) you must contact your local Police/Law Enforcement agency. The reason being that there are so many different types being used by different Departments, and different batons serve different purposes. There are wood, metal, high impact plastic, long (for riots), short (for Rodney King... sorry - I couldn't help it... nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!) for street and everyday use, and new collapsible metal ones that fit in a little pouch on the belt and look like a mini mag light. One snap and it goes from mini mag light to a 24 inch head crackin' force to be reckoned with (ooh, ooh!)! Hope this helps!

It has happened and far to often.  I read a story about a young father taking his two year old son to day care on his way to work because his wife was sick and the stress of the day he forgot to drop him at the daycare and left him asleep in the back of his car when he got to work.  The baby wasn't discover be for being dead for two hours.  The daycare tried to call the mother at home but she had taken the phone off the hook so she could rest and the father's work number was not listed with the daycare center.I think your concern is well placed and I believe there could be many ways to alert the drive of a child or animal left in the car.\n\nGeneral Motors Develops Device To Prevent Heat Stroke in Car Occupants.\n\nCOPYRIGHT 2001 The Washington Times \n\nByline: Tom Ramstack \n\nApr. 27--General Motors Corp. announced yesterday it is developing a radar technology to prevent heat stroke in children and animals left in automobiles on hot days. \n\nThe radar detects the presence of people or animals by their normal movements, such as eyelids blinking, mouths moving or chests inhaling and exhaling. A second device monitors temperature inside the vehicles. \n\nWhen the temperature rises too high while children or animals are inside, the device sounds three short blasts, or "chirps," of the automobile horn. \n\n"We have many parents who are unaware how quickly a vehicle heats up," said...

Not unless you have radar absorbing paint which the government would love to have too.  I was picked up on a 10 speed bike trailing all kinds of foil to mask me but I was still picked up and clocked by police radar gun.  If you find a way post it.  I want to know that trick.  You can overload them with powerful transmitters, the radar reads false speed like 200mph which is not reliable for court,especially when I drive a 1972 VW bug, but they are illegal.

No, in fact that had been talked about.  \n\nOne tower had too much on the roof to allow a helicopter to land.  The other had a heli-pad but I think it wasn't serviceable.

Police are trained very heavy in multi-tasking so yes the can talk on the phone and chase people at high speeds and talk on the radio while running after someone and send a description of the suspect via phone or radio. So give them a bit of a break. Tough job. Before you criticize try it first. Bet you will be all over them thanking them when YOU need them. \nBut yes you Can report them if they are relay doing something wrong. just get the car number. But as far as speeding for them...How do you know they are not on a mission....they do have to obey the laws but if they are on a call that needs a silent alarm..do you know...NO. And buy the way Fire trucks and Ambulances have to adhere to the rules too..even with the lights and sirens on!

Actually no.  Police training equips patrol officers how to properly handle and anticipate road traffic.  The accident rate hasn't spiked to any noticable amount since this type of proceedure has been ratified.  Police officers will even push other cars and vehicles off the road if they don't move.  So no, i don't believe so.
