It's jammer time.

lol thats funny because yesterday as i got off the highway with the GF in car BAM laser alert, then 5 secs later i actually got hit. The first hit i pick up as scatter. Really the laser jammers are pointless because i talked to a LEO and he said we aim high at the windshield... He said it doesnt matter if peoples detectors go off because they will still have your speed, but the windshield is the easiest location for them to hit without having to worry about being jammed.

Wait...so is it POP, IO, or laser? :?: Or is it all of the above?

BTW, couldnt a jammer mounted on the roof help with windshield shots?

If they don't work then, many leos don't know the tactic of shooting high then. Because I have yet to find a leo that stops shooting my vehicle because he got a reading.

man they are good with it down here. They hide in real good places and will just give a quick shot with the laser and they also wait for the ones that are worth stopping. Forget about 10 over the PSL, they want those heavy tickets :wink:

Missouri State Highway Patrol will do the same thing when they use their lidar. For instance they will pull people over going 80+ MPH over in a 55MPH

St.Louis X50, I can't help but notice that in the news clip listed, the Cobra on the left is not aimed perpendicular. What's up w/ that? Haven't we had discussions about this in the past? Sounds like it is time to educate a few more rd users out there?

LOL yes, my fiance' had been driving home the other day and noticed a X50 mounted where it was pointing to the sky. At the time she saw him he was traveling through a well known laser area. All she could do is think, what a moron. Someone smart enough to get a good detector and can't even mount it correctly.

Well just as she thought that, here comes a leo with his cherries and siren comming right after the tool.
