    First save along I-280?

    Was driving northbound on I-280 yesterday, right around here https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4932...QVXQ!2e0?hl=en
    between Edgewood Rd. and CA-92, doing about PSL+12 to 15. My ALP started alerting to hand-held lidar, so I took my foot off the gas, tapped the brakes, and was about to JTK when the alert suddenly stopped.

    I pulled the stats file from my ALP, and it appears that I was hit by a "Marksman and UltraLyte" type gun. Is this something that CHP uses? Strangely, I looked all around for the shooter after I got hit, but I didn't see any CHP cruisers or motorcycles in the area. Looking at Google Maps, there IS an unused onramp (for a vista point that's always closed). Would CHP shoot people that far off axis?

    I'm not sure if this really counts as a "save" though, because everyone goes PSL+15 in this area, and CHP mainly looks to ticket 85+ mph.

    Also, could the fact that the alert stopped before I hit kill be an indication of a problem with the mounting of my jammer heads? Could it mean that the officer got a PT? Or do officers routinely just move on to other cars if they can't get a PT immediately (especially if one car appears to be going the same speed as everyone else)?
