What is a "vertically oriented registration plate"? Most registration plates I've seen are horizontal. 2601:8:1D00:7:4DD8:F5F3:E301:7260 ( talk) 12:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
This page clearly has been copied wholesale from elsewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.94.16.45 ( talk) 15:09, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
This article needs to be erased and rewritten. It's been either stolen from somewhere or written by a primary source. Free Bullets ( talk) 02:05, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
This article reads like it was written by a member of law enforcement, or by an equipment manufacturer who deals in LiDAR gear... 68.144.222.45 ( talk) 18:25, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
I've tagged the article for rewrite and added refimprove tag. Concerning the latter, I'm confused by the existing tags being marked for a section, so I left the tag saying the section lacks sources as it is. Although it seems unlikely, there is some possibility that it was meant for the intro... -- Arny ( talk) 14:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
By the poor grammar and writing style the article may have been written by a police officer. I've already made a lot of improvements to it! By the contents, it may have been written by someone trying to prove that it is easy to misuse a Lidar unit in order to produce erroneous readings, possibly to then use this reasoning to contest an existing citation. DaemonischEngel ( talk) 15:49, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
If non-standard units are used, they should be at least translated to SI units. I don't know off the head what a "mile" (anything between 1500 and 11000 m?) or a "foot" (anything between 25 and 34 cm?) would be.

I have rewritten the article. It is now about one fifth of its peak size. I have only used information that was in the original article, but eliminated repetition and redundancies but kept all the original information and straightened out the garbled language. It is a worthwhile article but needs a lot more work particularly with citations. Foucault ( talk) 00:46, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
I should mention that I know nothing about LiDAR or the physical processes on which it is based, I have just accepted the information in the original article and reorganised it into what appears to me to be a logical flow. Foucault ( talk) 02:30, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Whoever wrote the original article has made a worthwhile contribution. It originally was a kind of mind dump that seems to me to contain genuine nuggets among all the garbage. Rewriting the article would have been more difficult without the mind dump. Foucault ( talk) 02:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
The article provides an interesting example of how Wikipedia is intended to work. We should not be too hard on contributors doing a mind dump as long as there are plenty of others who can edit and censor. Foucault ( talk) 02:44, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Being new to Wikipedia I am not sure on the policy regarding measurement units. The US uses the imperial system but the US scientific community uses metric (or SI or some derivation). I would like to remove all the imperial references as they introduce unnecessary clutter. Being new I was reluctant to change the title, but doing so does not appear to have deleterious consequences. I would also like to remove all references to 'gun' and replace them with 'device'. Foucault ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:47, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
I have removed three tags from the top. Multiple issues - I think I have rewritten so that the article deals with a single issue. Too technical - I know nothing about LiDAR but have rewritten the article. Needs rewrite - I think I have rewritten the article in an acceptable style.
I have left the how-to tag, but I think it could be removed, I have left the factual accuracy tag, I know nothing about LiDAR so I need to do some more work to establish accuracy. I have left the citations tag as the article definitely needs more citations, this is closely allied with the factual accuracy.
Foucault ( talk) 05:33, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
I should also mention the article needs links to explain things such as nanosecond, wavelength etc
