Today I received a frantic call from a friend of mine, an experienced countermeasure user, who lives near me in Texas. He had been stopped by a county Sherriff (Bell County), right at the intersection of I-35 and TX 190, in Temple. The Sherriff proceeded to write him a ticket for 20+ over, which my friend couldn't understand, due to the lack of any alert through his systems. After asking, the Sherriff replied that my friend had been clocked by aerial VASCAR via the helicopter that was hovering about 150 yards off in the distance. I saw the ticket today and it even has a little helictopter emblem on it. I am going to scan the ticket so that everyone can see some proof, as this was a shock to me, having never heard of VASCAR being used in Texas, and having never heard of it being used with a helicopter. I also hope to get some video of this in action, since I have the county network on my scanner, this could make for some good video!
