Hmmm, interesting. Gotta say, here on I-5 in Tacoma, WA. I see State patrol
motorcycle and regular patrol cars absolutely killing 'em with laser these
days. I have a Passport 8500, and it has picked up laser only once, when it
was directed right at me (of course, then it would be too late. Fortuntely
I was in compliance). I have seen them laser cars just in front of me and
the detector picked up nothing. The motorcycle cop just sits on the side of
the freeway, gun pointed, takes his shot and drives off to make the kill.
Then, he sets up in that spot and repeats the process all the way down the
freeway. The Passport has been great on everything else, but I do not think
any detector has a chance against laser. Not that I need such protection...
I NEVER speed... honest...
Greg "once referred to as leadfoot" Burrows (in '87, I got a ticket on the
way to Shasta, and one on the way back... and had gotten one about a week or
so earlier... oops). Most recently got photo ticket, prompting the Passport
purchase.
