When laser first came out, the word seemed to be that if your laser detector went
off, you had been lased and should get your license and insurance card ready.

My Valentine 1 will pick up laser scatter. Lewisville PD runs laser on I-35E, Norhtbound, near
FM407 (Justin Road). He points it at cars in the fast lane. I usually travel in the
rightmost travel lane and can pick up the scattered signal.

I have also equipped my vehicle front and back with clear plastic license plate covers.
The reason is that police officers are supposed to point their lasers at a flat spot on
the lased vehicle, most commonly your front license plate. The specific covers that I have are
said to diffuse the laser beam and will not bounce back cleanly to the officer's device.

Laser false alarms - These are also caused by Lexuses and Infiniti's that have some kind
of vehicle-sensing cruise control.

I am a big fan of my Valentine One. It has great range, it has arrows which tell you which
direction the speed-sensing device is located, the number of threats (in case there's multiple
officers working the area), and even flashes a "J" for "Junk" when it's had time to process the
threat. Many times "Junk" signals emanate from cheap detectors whose "mixing signal" does not
remain inside their units and leak out to be found by better detectors.
