Police radar/laser question

If there is no front license plate on a Scud which obviously has a fiberglass front bumper....can a radar gun or laser clock your speed from the front?

My thought is there is nowhere for it to be aimed at.

Thoughts ???

Catchacab will become famous soon enough

Yes, you can get a radar ir laser reading off of almost any material. It may be harder on some surfaces than others, but the answer is yes.

I believe they can hit your headlight area as well...

If there is a surface to bounce light off, then the LIDAR gun will be able to get reading on it.
Here is a video LIDAR hitting a F430 without front plate:
