    Default Laser question

    I was coming home from school on the freeway today in the far left lane and picked up a quick laser alert. First I looked on the median for a LEO, nothing, then I looked for an infinity, nope. I then got a quick glance at an unmarked passing in the opposite direction just behind an RSX or something. Do they shoot laser at people in front of them while under way? Thanks in advance yall!

    Laser is stationary only. Your alert wasn't from the unmarked, unless a passenger was playing with the gun. Even if he tried to clock you, the gun would show the cruiser's speed + your speed (max, depending on the cosine factor due to angle).
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    Thats a good spot for a LEO. He can just sit there and when he gets a customer he can just take that u-ie and catch up behind him. And yea my bet was it might have been an infinity heading your way or an actual LEO shooting.

    Thanks for the info! I think I can do without a jammer. This state is getting out of hand with our law makers. You can't even make an enduro motoorcycle street legal anymore because of hippy emmitions standards!! But what about the 323CI 5.3l chevy V8 that I wanna take off the road to use a 400cc enduro!!!??? Retarded. sorry for the rant...lol
