    Default Laser - tag twice?

    My friends arguing with me about how he doesn't need a jammer because with his v1 he can slow down before the cops hit him a second time. Is it true that cops need to laser you twice? Once to check speed, second time to verify?

    They will usually have your speed locked in less than a second without a jammer. Any thing less than a jammer will just tell you that your speed was just read.

    LOL! Your friend doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. No, they do not have to shoot you twice. And no, you couldn't slow down in time even if they did.

    Yeah, I think his black mazda 3 just have a slight stealth signature and these cops don't know how to aim a laser. The funny thing is my other friend with a x50 said he got lasered by a cop doing 85 and slowed down fast enough after the alert and the cop didnt go after him. There's a laser guardian following these guys lol

    Every time I have been tagged with laser in the tristate area (troopers mostly) I have ether gotten hit twice or for a very long amount of time.
    I know its not necessary (or maybe it is?), but for some reason they still do it.

    They're fishing, hoping you are accelerating and they can get a faster speed with the next shot. But if you're not, they'll take the first one. And no, they do not have to shoot you more than once.

    Hmm, so i guess a laser save in a scenario like is is possible. I got hit once coming down a crest of a hill (~15 over) then about 1/4mi later again with a burst but only 8 over. Never even pulled out so its certainly possible I could of accelerated to ~20 over for the 2nd shot and gotten a ticket.

    That's a good point. If you're right on that line of ticket/no ticket on the first shot, and then you slow down or maintain, as opposed to speeding up, then yes, that's a save. That'd be a pretty rare occurrence, but certainly possible and a very good thing!

    Your friend will soon get an invitation to a roadside disco.

    The only way his theory would work is if his V1 picks up the scatter.

    A direct shot and it's over, 0.3 second and the gun locks him up.
