    While this would be a nice feature, in a practical sense, I'm not sure it would be good to have. Remember, the goal should be to JTK as quickly as possible at all times. Unless the automated camera alerts sound completely different from the alerts for normal LiDAR guns (for example, by using a sound other than the siren noise used for the regular guns), such a feature is likely to lead to accidental JTG mistakes in the real world.

    It already puts the driver in a sort of stressful situation when he or she gets an unexpected alert and must quickly brake and JTK ASAP. This adds yet another layer of decision making to someone under stress, which is not a good thing.

    I wouldn't mind an alert sound for PoliScan that differs from a regular gun, given that Poliscan alerts tend to be either more urgent in nature (if you live in a Poliscan area) or more nuisance in nature (if you live here) than other alerts.

    Yea, in essence you have to JTG a Poliscan to ensure successfully jam, if you kill to early and your in its detection zone, you get fined.. Would you take that risk???

    This is why it needs to be separate away from handhelds as the method required to jam it differs from a handheld
