    First legit LIDAR hit in which I know I was the target

    Southbound Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road, right near the Safeway:

    Driving in the rain, my ALPs suddenly start going off. Took a while to kill (3-4 seconds) because I was so surprised that they were going off at all, especially off the freeway. I had the ALPs in Pro Mode and the LED stayed lit continuously red, so I am sure I was the target. I look around and I see a Santa Clara County Sheriff's SUV and a stopped vehicle on the shoulder here. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.2793...2dvOP_Wcqw!2e0 There was an officer in uniform, as well as a non LEO (a woman from the stopped vehicle) who appeared to be holding a Marksman or Ultralyte LIDAR gun. I am not sure why the non LEO was shooting traffic.

    Pulled the stats from my ALP and confirmed that it was an LTI gun. It appears that Santa Clara County Sheriffs may use LTI guns. Either that or the woman was a CM hobbyist and the LEO was called to check out what she was doing (which I find far less likely).
