Popularity of LIDAR speed detection is on the rise, though, as costs decline, ease of operation approaches radar, and existing radar equipment reaches its end-of-service life and is rotated out of service.

This is why the LIDAR is on the rise.

Now here is the best catch, the courts system some counties have added a public assessment tax of 300% on top of your fine. Here in the LA are not all counties have this but LA for sure. So insurance agencies are cashing in on speeding tickets and the courts are taxing in on that fine. Pretty brilliant if you ask me but a total jif for us.
