Re: Fixing V1 Laser false alerts

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas I have to disagree. A laser set up is very different from 
radar, First the laser is stationary the operator has to sight you 
then shoots. There is virtually no scatter from a laser gun. So if 
you get an alert 95% you are tagged. Also the whole bike is a target, 
laser unlike radar dosen't pass through the bikes body it will bounce 
off anything just like light.. which it is.

Erik

PS: Everyone I know who has been tagged with laser was just that, 
tagged. No warning, just bang tagged.
