    Default 8 Laser alerts

    My friend was driving on the 836 by 47 and 56 ave. and there was a cop shooting laser, there was a kind of heavy traffic but still moving over speed limit, I was with my friend in his car (4 doors Hon. Accord 02, White) the RD was at the top on the right side of the mirror. I got a total of 8 alerts, 3-4 when the cop was in front of us and the rest when the cop was behind of us, but there was a cop on the other side of the road I think shooting the opposite traffic but there is like a wall as tall as the car separating both sides. I don't know if we got shot or it was only scatter.

    The RD that we used was mine the PRO 58. I'm so proud

    That doesn't sound right. First of all, it is hard to detect scattter from another car. Second, it is near impossible to get scatter from behind. And if you got shot, you should receive very weak signal being that the RD is so high (unless he hit the windshield).

    Were you by an airport? Go by there when there are no cops and see what happens

    yeah that doesn't sound right..

    a few days ago when I was at college, I was going to my car when I noticed two cops shooting laser so when I got in my car I wanted to see if I'd get shot and if I'd get an alert..

    as I took a turn towards them they already had a view of me and i saw him shooting straight at me and my pro 73 never went off.. i even passed them very slowly to see if they'd shoot me again but they didn't... i was a bit dissapointed.. my pro73 was mounted high. he was probably pretty good at the whole headlight/plate shooting .. .oooh welll

    There are posts shooting laser, and have cameras, that is what it looks like(everytime I passed through there I get about the same amount of alerts), but that day i saw the cop shooting. You are right it is REALLY hard to get scatter but in between many cars there is a biger chance of getting it.

    If you look at the test done by the Veil Guy, then yeah, it's not that great. Here is a link:
