STS 101 Atlantis deposited the new version KH-9 HEXAGON spy satellite in 2007 (the exact mission is still classified) that began the era of satellite based/global positioning ground surveillance. Most of it's work has been taken over by drones as it's has became somewhat obsolete. The ESA will launch a new CIA satellite(reportedly an armed version of the hexagon-the first ever) sometime this summer.
A new kind of orbit(other than geocentrically aligned) has been tested although no one has the slightest idea what it means as far as ground surveillance.

Looks like I stand corrected. But I have had an Leo tell me one of the reasons its because of what I mentioned in the previous post. The guy told me that the newer cars don't give as good a radar return and made it more difficult to get accurate readings. The reflective plates helped make the cars radar return much easier for the radar gun to pickup.
I'm not even sure if reflectivity even makes a difference to radar. But that's what a cop told me once. But it did come from a cop so it could already have been an ignorance laced statement he made.

i'm not sure about reflective paint returning radar signal. seeing how they are radio waves, i do know that they make coating/ paint to absorb the waves. i would think that it it tend to scatter the signal. now on a laser known as LIDAR it might work. now i did know that 3m made the first reflective coatings for plates. i didn't know that they were making it especially for lidar. i have to check into that, i'd like to know. it would seem that your right. my bad

i've been nosing around and most of the pages i find say that radar is more common than lidar, don't know lets just we're both right. still gona look for 3m making the reflective coating. i found where thay brag about making the coating for 70 years. but so far nothing on changing it.

Wow, this surveilance stuff is coming on so fast! I don't know how paranoid I'm being, but I just started trying to keep the built-in cam lense on my lap-top covered. I can never seem to always keep it covered, though. I know probably no one's looking, but you know they probably recording some people like that. lol... idk.. sux A bit of sellotape and a bit of paper will work. You're not the only one. I've done the same with my mobile phone. The other things are that plugging a mobile phone into a PC can allow the phone to suck data and send it goodness knows where. With my old ZTE phone, if I plugged it into the USB port of my laptop, it would actually change the internet routing table of the PC and send all traffic across the mobile phone network. So I only recharge the phone using USB ports on my TV or the power line.

yet one more use for a high powered laser. its illegal to shine a laser at:
1) a person 2) a manned aerial vehicle
no laws yet on inanimate public objects....such as expensive repo cameras. good luck and happy hunting
