    Default Moving to FL - do i need rear laser protection?

    Soon be living in FL and torn between the LI dual and the Blinder 27. From what i can find the LI is slightly smaller which i think will make for an easier install in my Audi S4 grill. But i also read the FL has been increasing their laser gun usage.

    I was most concerned about the front laser protection, but should i be considering rear too? Does FL indeed shoot alot of rear shots (tampa-sarasota area)? I don't want to sound cheap, but if i can save the money and just get a dual setup that would be great.

    thanks

    Yes. Rear is a known threat in FL.

    thanks. i was afraid you were going to say that. i noticed blinder has a m37 version with the 1 extra. would the 1 extra be enough? Or do i need the M47? car is dark great with no chrome.

    The rear is harder to protect than the front, you will need at least 2 heads back there.

    I got shot in the rear near Tampa. Rear laser protection is a must. I have a video if you're interested. Maybe you'll know the area where I was shot. Also, get an LI quad. I wouldn't trust blinders for sh*t. They are very inconsistent.

    been living 8 years tampa-sarasota area and I haven't ever gotten shot from the rear from what I could tell. It's all been front. But that's not to say it's not out there.

    :/ The amount of money extra for the QUAD vs. what you'll be paying in lawyer fees, your personal time in court, and possibly insurance premium increases, for a speeding ticket, is far less.
