I just got tagged Friday w/ laser being used from the rear. It was a Wyoming LEO sitting on the N-bound on ramp for 1-31 at 54th street. Time of day, mid day.

Did he tag ya from the front, then again from the rear? or straight to rear?
Straight to the rear. Glad I saw him though. Sneaky LEO.
They never hit from the rear up here, not yet at least
I spent 30 mins today shooting lidar thru windshield on the interstate. Front license plates required by law in WA but not rigorously enforced. I could see over the median, so I could shoot traffic going either direction.
Oncoming traffic: targetting range 700'-1100'
Very easy to get speed lock shooting plates - typically within 1 sec for 900'+, quicker at 700'
Not easy to get speed lock shooting headlights - required tracking target - if speed lock acquired it took about 2-5 secs
Not easy to get speed lock shooting center w/o plates
Same lane traffic: targetting range 300'-900'
Very easy shooting plate - typically within 0.5 sec all distances
Very easy shooting taillights - typically within 0.5 sec all distances
Lets hope this thing doesn't become SOP.

Crap.. LEO can shoot lidar from within their vehicles?? Wow didn't know this. I always that they had to be out or window open.Originally Posted by LittleOverPSL
X50, city of Wyoming south of Grand Rapids. Sorry for the confusion. EH, when/if you get hit w/ laser from the rear, you probably will be as shocked as I was. :shock: :shock:
Thanks Proud, I will have to change this in my google Laser Mapping.
LOL BTW, I'M looking at the traffic cameras right now for St. Louis and just saw a LEO with someone pulled over. They are out here today for sure!

They can. Just that speed lock time can take a little longer. Radar bounces back from metal, lidar/light from anything. So glass, rain, mist, fog, snow, etc causes reflections that the gun has to discard and hence more pulses are required. How much longer depends on amount of these 'noise reflections'.Originally Posted by Event Horizon
Open window from cruiser is often best and preferred. Point is, there's nothing that says they can't do so.
