How can I know if that piece of junk is a traffic RADAR or a just a streetlamp?

Type
2 – Roadside cabin radars Static speedtraps in roadside cabins are frequently placed in road berms, although some of them are installed in median strips at highways. Booths may be white or green, as well as light grey or light brown:
Type 2A (MULTANOVA model in booth) This model can be also installed in porches (Type 1A), and hidden vehicles (Type 7A). The radar frecuency is 34.3 Ghz. It can be identified by the two windows, vertically disposed. Note difference between CIRANO model (Type 2C), which upper window is larger than lower one:
Type 2B (RAI-2002 model in booth) This model can be also installed in porches (Type 1B). The radar frecuency is 35.5 Ghz. It can be identified by the three windows the booth has, disposed as an inverted triangle:
Type 2C (CIRANO-500 model in booth) This model can be also installed in porches (Type 1E). The radar frecuency is 34.3 Ghz. It can be identified by the two windows, vertically disposed. Note difference between MULTANOVA model (Type 2A); upper window in CIRANO model is larger than lower one:
Type 2D (RAMET-AD9 model in booth) This model can be also installed in porches (Type 1F). The radar frecuency is 34.3 Ghz. Manufacturer asures that glasses are not broken in delivery: ("...incomprensively there are people that dont't like speedtraps...") It can be identified by the three windows, but unlike RAI-2002 model (tipo 2B), these are vertically disposed, and the central window has a visor:
Type 2E (Tempocam model in booth) This
model detects speed either by a RADAR device
(frecuency is 24.1 Ghz), or by induction bands hidden
under the asphalt, or a combination of both. It can also be installed in a
post:
Type 2F (AUTOVELOX model): This model measures speed through laser technology, with two parallel laser beams crossed by the traffic; it calculates the speed knowing the time you take to cross both laser beams, separated 40 cms:
