Hello From Maryland

[RedRocket]

I got a ticket about a month ago in Virginia, first one in 20 years and got pissed--my brand new Escort never even went off so I searched around and found AL Priority and put one in my car. I had it professionally installed in Virginia and they did a great job.

Is there a place to view what the alerts you get mean.

I took a trip today to Ocean City today and the thing went off 3 different places siron, siron Laser Pro 3 and that was it. Cops were shooting about a half mile ahead on all instances.

I was trying to figure what that means. Did it sniff out laser or was I hit? There was no noise after that. - At that distance YOU were not the target. You were receiving scatter signals reflected from the cars ahead the LEO was likely targeting.Normal/Honest Leo's only target you from 1st observing you speeding (or bad driving) & then use Radar or Lidar to confirm if it's excessive. With Lidar use, they generally are limited (by established Case Law) to 1,000ft or less.

I am sure there is somewhere in the forum that helps newbies with this but could not find it.

I wanted to turn around and do it again.. Has anyone else had that same feeling? Don't do this, you never want to raise the suspicions of the Officer. Just be relieved you were lucky to have avoided getting stopped & receiving a Citation.

Thinking of getting another one for my other car.
