    Default My v1 went into laser full alert 2 times at this spot but I couldn't find cop

    Today was a cloudy day and around 2PM. I was driving down this road when the v1 detected laser and went into full alert:
    Speed limit on this road is 40MPH or 45MPH I can't remember -.-

    This is a straight hill. I just moved the angles of the google maps when I screenshot them
    SS0: Around here was when I got the first laser alert (it was actually a bit farther back at the peak of this concave down hill).



    SS1: The light was red and this was where I got the 2nd Laser alert:




    I will continue screenshots from after the red light till the end of all the possible hiding spots:

    p6


    p5


    p4


    p3


    p2


    p1


    and finally the end






    SS2: 4 blocks down from that red light is a dead end:



    My v1 has detected laser in full alert on this same road last week during a sunnyday.

    I think the next time I get a laser warning on this road on my way to work, i'll have to make a u-turn and look for the cop to see if it really is a cop.

    It's scary for a cop to use laser on inside roads with massive hills like this =[


    New topic:

    I got off the freeway today and drove pass a safeway and was getting K band alerts "2" (one front door and one side door) as I normally do when I drive pass. However, I then got Ka alert as well with the #"3". It kept giving me a Ka in high warning and as I drove 4+ blocks down, the cop was in the high school parking lot and I was able to see him. What a great save. This was around 10:30PM when the road was pretty much empty around here.

    I have had the same thing happen to me on a tollway overpass ramp 2 times with my escort alerting to laser.

    It is sharply curved, so there is no way a cop could be hitting me with laser, plus it is the highest point for miles.

    Im assuming that there is just some strong IR source in the vicinity. Maybe a night vision traffic camera or something of the sort.

    Many use laser to determine when you have entered the intersection or when it thinks you might based on your speed.

    Possibilities:

    - Red light camera
    - Nearby vehicle with laser cruise control or LED brake lights
    - Sunbeam coming through the trees (I get laser falses from this all the time)

    Hmm. There was a large suv in front of me a good 10 feet away. Might have been his LED break lights
