Not enough surface area w/ passive reflectors.

If it were tunable it might work. A fixed frequency beam would at most
cause the gun to fail to have a large enough S/N ration. Shouldn't take
the cop long to figure out what's up...
Point it at your car and strange behaviour, point it at another car and
all is fine. Hmmm.... can I hear 'probable cause for a stop'?

Provided the camera isn't very fast. The responce time of your system and
the time of flight time of your flash will likely get there about the time
the shutter closes down. If it's CCD then forget it, you'll never get
enough of a window.
