Did I Get Hit or pick up Scatter?

Guys,
My Warning for laser went off today, and there was a LEO on the side of the highway. My newbie question is if my warning goes off, was I hit or do the sensors pick up laser scatter as well?

I am set up for 4 second interference before shutoff.

Could be both. How close were you to another car? Your car is probably a hot target for them haha

I've picked up scatter a bunch on the front when they're targeting the rear of the guy in front of me and a few times from them shooting cars on the other side of the road when I'm passing by.

Like tawd said could be both. Your best bet of figuring it out is the arrangement of traffic, orientation of LEO and visual on the officer.

Appreciate the answers. New to laser.

In order to know whether you're targeted or just picked up scatter, you'd have to run Pro Mode. Pro Mode would tell you when you're actively being targeted (LED on when targeted and off when not targeted). If you just see a quick flash of the LED and then it turns off again, then it's likely scatter.
