Just today in the September isssue of Popular Science, there is an article on
new speed enforcement technology.  There is a photo of the revamped version 
of the International Measurement(They formed a subsidiary called Laser Technologies
to market it) that is much more compact than the previous model.  I will 
summarize more when I buy the issue, but it does use non-visible light, which
would almost certainly be near IR since it uses a low power diode.  Many of
the latest questions regarding the power, etc of photo radar, and questions
about radar detector, detectors are answered.  The laser speed device cost
$3500 when I called IM&C last November.
