Maybe it's not such a bad idea.  Microwave radar has a tendancy to pick up
on the strongest reflection it gets--and we all hope it's the vehicle being
pointed at!  Laser light could be focused into a narrow beam and we'd KNOW
which vehicle was being clocked.  'Course there's no leakage for Cincinnati
Microwave to pick up on....
