Default Got nailed by laser yesterday.

50 in a 35 in La Crescenta by Glendale PD on a bike. The cop showed me his laser gun. It got me from 562 feet away. That's almost two football fields. My Passport 9500i didn't pick it up. He said the new laser guns have much greater range. He said "I didn't know you were speeding from that distance. I just saw a sports car with the top down and figured you were a good bet."

lol, just by the last statement in your post, it is enough to show the judge the case should be dismissed.

But, I guess you do not have that recorded.

Will that Passport company pay for your ticket? Call them and tell 'em you're gonna put your experience on the web. Worth a fone call.

I got hit with a 60 in a 45 by a laser, too. Also at that ridiculous range. I completely underestimated it (never got hit by laser). I saw him from about a football field away and slowed down, but he had already got me. Lame.
