    Default Awesome save

    Yesterday on my way in to work, I got an early warning from an LEO that was hidden on an on ramp thats high above the highway I was traveling on. Basically the onramp is a hill that declines onto the highway.... therefore the ramp and cars on it are out of view from the highway until you're parrallel with the bottom of the ramp.

    I got a warning before the overpass, and it ended up that there was an LEO high on the ramp shooting down the ramp to get cars traveling away from him. Without a detector I NEVER in a million years would've seen the state trooper. I had to look for him in my rear view mirror up the ramp as I was hit full blast with Ka, and the V1 arrows switched to the rear. It was an amazing save.

    Just funny that you can find the same technique used on opposite sides of the country.

    Troopers, specifically NJSP seem to like shooting ppl in the a$$ as they go by. I assume he was using i/o?

    No, if I remember correctly it was c/o...but I'm not positive. I just know I picked him up way ahead of time, and when I hit the bottom of the ramp where people merge, I was blasted with a full shot from him and turned off shortly after as the road curves.

    I had a similar situation with an MA trooper on Rt 24. There was a rest area off to the side of the highway that had been closed off on both the entering and exiting ends. As I approached the rest area, long before I reached the entrance of it, I started picking up Ka. He was hiding on the exit side of the rest area, tucked back out of site, so the only time you would've seen him was after you blew by in your rear view. That was another one of my favorite (if not favorite) saves. I think that one might have been with my 9500i by I can't remember.

    The the same technique is used in the southeast US, usually with IO as opposed to CO. The state, local, and county around here rarely use CO.
