Just curious.

Good luck getting out of it.
The OP alleges that cops don't know how to use their equipment.

Are there new lidar devices now? Saw a statie on the side of the Pike the other day looking thru a binocular like device (window down, looking at the traffic coming at him), which I'd imagine is LIDAR...do you know what I'm referring to? Reminded me of military night vision goggles .

Not sure if they changed to the compact unit, but the troopers I know that have LIDAR are issued full-size units.

There are two types of full size LIDAR, and a newer compact version.
Over/under


Side by side


Compact

It's better to go in being honest and asking for mercy.

Uh..lets just sayy you're wrong on this. Verified by two of my good friends with something that seems like a 100% guilty verdict. A 1500 dollar attorney (the same one for each) fixed the impossible. You go into it with an "I will win attitude".

RT 3 near NH -

Traps under bridges, 2 cop cars set up.

Traps behind bridge abutments, all you see is the roofline of the pigmobile

Due to the usual high amount of traffic, they focus on the inside lane. I laugh how they pick off the same cars that pass me while I am in the outer lanes doing only a few less MPH. They end up pulling over cars/SUVs that were blocking my view in the inside lane doing 75-80, thus I stay away from them, and let them take the fall

The last 2 trips I made down I-84 in CT towards Hartford, I've seen two (2) separate black Dodge Challenger's w/ blacked out windows, unmarked troopers with cars pulled over on the westbound side. On my ride back the other day (westbound), I was hit with a laser (unmarked Charger) in the far right lane (minimal cars on the road)...I knew they might be there so was only doing 65/70 mph at the time.
