When talking about IR, generally you speak of wavelength, not frequency. Looking at a handy catalog, the only one I can find uses a wavelength of 788nm. If the police LIDAR systems use commonly available IR LaserLEDS, you could fit a few around the front of your car so a cop in any position in front of you sees at least ond diode. Modulate the power supply with a little noise (like ignition noise) and the officer won't be able to get a reading that makes any sense to his machine. If your source is brighter than the reflection of the officer's source. If they find the system on your car, say it is your garage door opener. Better yet, if you're a ham, it's an experimental radio device, since hams can use any freq above 300 GHz.
