The doppler units are fixed on the front dash and rear deck of the car..used for in motion speeders. There are handheld radar units...but you have to be stationary...or a damn good driver!

LIDAR is handheld.

This is radar...see the two cylinders? one mounts in front, one in rear..dash and rear deck. I will take a few pics of my car tonight and show how set up.
