    Is it me you are asking?When was the 1st try?
    If so,I'm not sure - I do go to Bflo to & wonder when this would have taken place?

    Could've been the last BIG Can/Am meet. Can't say for sure though.

    I can confirm the NYSP have used this tactic in my area...usually a marked Dodge Charger doing the targeting.

    Tried this again yesterday and got an error code. Maybe it's just the Truspeed.

    This is not an approved practice by any laser gun manufacture or not the international police chiefs association

    Pull the manual for the gun he got shot with and reference that as well as his training (LEO) in use of the lidar gun. Taking it one step further, all lidar (as well as radar) is "supposed" to be tested before shift and after . ASK where in his testing of the unit before and after shift (for distance accuracy) did he shoot off a mirror ?? He didn't and they know that they cant use it.

    There's NO doubt its being used. Whether anyone has called em OUT on it is a whole other story. This area (shooting off mirrors) is ripe for litigation and appeal.

    Yeah,that sounds like me early on,then I bought the HP-905s at first try.My bad,I just can't put a face on you or your car...I've tested so many the last few years I just can't single you out.

    We're not that far apart,only a couple hour drive between us.
