ABSTRACT:
A disabling system for disabling a laser-based speed monitor of the type that transmits a monitor laser beam at a moving motor vehicle. The monitor laser beam transmitted by the speed monitor is detected when it arrives at the motor vehicle. In response to detecting the monitor laser beam, a warning is output by an annunciator to the motor vehicle driver and a jamming laser beam is transmitted toward the speed monitor. The jamming laser beam disables the speed monitor for a time period sufficient to allow the motor vehicle driver to reduce the speed of the motor vehicle. The jamming laser beam is transmitted by a laser transponder structured to be powered only by the vehicle battery. Plural laser transponders are coupled to a single annunciator to provide plural points of speed monitor detection and jamming without requiring plural annunciators.
