There's a far better way to conceal them which no one is likely to
advertise here... try asking a truckie. :)

You mean something like this?

I see two problems;

1. LIDAR detectors are completely useless, as by the time the unit detects
the first of a barrage of pulses, you'll have already been "pinged" - long
before your brain's had a chance to acknowledge the beeping from your
detector, let alone had time to tell your foot to move to the brake pedal.
Unlike radar, there's very little scatter with LIDAR, so you're not very
likely to detect speed checks on other vehicles.

2. The superheterodyne receivers needed to detect weak radar signals are by
their very nature easy to detect - the police don't even need a specialised
"radar detector detector" to find out if you've got one onboard; bring two
radar detectors within a couple of metres of each other and they'll
false-trigger each other. I offer this bit of advice based on past
experience working as a technician, building, testing and repairing radar
detectors - each of us had to work in individual grounded shipping
containers in order to prevent interfering with each other.

Unfortunately these days it's gotten to the point where no matter how much
money you throw at detection technology, it's only ever going to offer a
false sense of security - much like Norton or McAfee do in the virus
detection world - and I personally would rather know that I'm not secure,
rather than thinking I am when I'm actually not.
