Maybe the laser doesn't lie but that a lot of crap if you are four cars deep and not passing anyone and you get a ticket? At 900 feet? This has opened my eyes. I've had two laser tickets in my life
Problem with the video shown and viewing it back is, that is NOT the actual image magnified through the scope of the laser that the trooper was looking though.....at 900feet the width of a laser beam is about 3ft wide and with a scope and crosshairs targetting a specific vehicle, is accurate.
That is a huge mis-perception from seeing all these videos for a defence etc, does not take into account the scope and magnification of said scope. Nor can it ever be in the exact location where the laser was used on a vehicle.
I would maybe consider an effort towards similiar styles of MV in the area, that the traffic (namely a transport) passed by thus obstructing the view of the trooper, while having his head turned, thus not constant site of the vehicle
