    That would make sense, but for some reason with the same type of scenario he got a front alert when the scatter should have set off the rear.
    I use: Max with super DNA! 9500CI/ZR4 - LI Dual - RedLine - LIVE - V1 3.872/.893 {1,7,b,E,F,G (l/L)} zr4. I have used: 9500I Blue=x1 upgraded to ix. - 9500I Red=x2 - 8500 x1, 8500X50 Black, SmartRadar, PRO300, old Bel 9??, K40.

    I believe the above drawing the blue is approaching the officer as green is passing. In THIS particular scenario BDR is suggesting the the officer was shooting the REAR of a vehicle in FRONT of the car, thus the rear scatters backwards to the front of the green car.

    Understood, but in the situation described by OP, I believe BDR is suggesting THIS happened:

    Just buy a laser tester , hit the heads with it, and see if it has a delay in the alerts.

    Correct. Without a Cam and seeing he situation we will never know exactly what happened but if his front alerted and not the rear this diagram will certainly explain it. They could have also been shooting at cars in the opposite lane further down coming towards him and it could have had the same effect. Based on his speed being 35MPH he probably was not the target.
