Michigan's Radar and Laser targeting Tactics Tutorials.

[alpinestars_2002795]

These are all ways the MSP and county PD operate in the state of Michigan. For the gentlmen that said that IO isn't used in Mi. Here you are. Figured you'd like to see that it's used in pretty much every setup they use. If not it's by choice. They have golden eagles and plenty of other IO radar guns such as the Pro-1000 K band gun, and lot's of Lidar/laser guns, it's just a matter of "WHEN, and WHERE" they choose to use them.

If by chance you need to make the image larger simply click it, it will open it in a new window, then maximize the new window box. To exit, close the extra window for each individual scenario.

Here is the rest of the More common setups I've encountered in michigan, and how they work them.

Basically Michigan PO are the best trained at catching speeders. They do it because Michigan needs the revenue. And they are very efficient at it. If you live in Michigan and are used to their tactics than any other state is no challenge. Worst one is getting smacked by I/O Ka or K band from an unmarked car traveling in the opposite direction. I actually saw one today, luckily because I had the v1 up I had a good 1/2 mile detection.

Saw the whole 'LEO-backed-up-against-the-back-side-of-an-overpass' trick a few weeks ago. He pulled off of the right shoulder just passed an overpass and backed behind it. He had his door wide open and looked like he was puking but he had a LIDAR gun in his hand shooting SB traffic. It was the first/last overpass over 75 after/before the 23/75 split/merge.

He was crazy though. The top of his head/door was just a couple of feet from 70mph traffic in the right hand lane.

Then maybe you've seen this one too foolish one. This is another enforcement tactic often used around overpasses.



They sure seem to like to use the overpasses, and tree's in michigan to subdo themselves they have liked to use the tree's to subdo themselves here for years.

This is maybe more like what you encountered then. Yes I've seen that too, around the Grand Rapids area.

Wow, that was a lot of work just looking at all of that Alpine.

[FoolishOne]

Yeah, that last one in post 6 is the tactic I was referring to.

Here's I-75 and Hill Road.

That's what you see staring you in the face going 80+mph.

Yup, i've seen that one used in Grand Rapids on I-131 south bound although the officer refused to even try to shoot my Night rider explorer? Akward? Maybe he saw how blacked out it was, and all the Laser jammers I had on it, and decided not to waste his time..?

Had an idoit threaten to call the fed's on me today for shooting radar? I was like ? I'm licensed, be my guest. Some people are just stupid though I guess.
