He didn't radar you. He lasered you. (You said he was standing outside his car with a gun)

Radar is car mounted and fires in all directions, and the cruiser doesn't need to be stationary.
Laser is a hand held unit that must be aimed at oncoming cars from a stationary location.

It wouldn't matter if you had a radar detector, laser is instantaneous with little or no stray signaling.
ie. your radar detector would go off saying you got lasered... and then you get pulled over.



I recently took a 4kmile road trip with both a Passport 8500 and a V1 mounted side by side on the windshield.
I think the 8500 was under the back seat by day 2. It went off just as much as the V1... but with no indication of where the signal was coming from, it really didn't tell you much.

Arrows FTW.

PS. I think a brand new 370Z in "arrestmered" is just too tempting for cops to pass on. That's awesome that you got off with just a seat belt ticket and no points.
