He "popped" you with the laser. Unless you have a Jammer, there's no way around it. The only time the V1 will help you is if he pulls the trigger on a car in front of you. Then you're V1 will catch it and you'll have time to react and slow down.
On the other hand, the use of plane jane instant on radar , that would be a different story.

Nice to know that you doing 75 was dangerous, and merits a fine, but the cop crossing the grass to get you is nice and safe and therefore commendable practice

Thanks guys for your support! The car is great so that makes the thing better
and worse in the same time...
How much is it, do you know? 10 mph over in CA?
I think it was instant on, as my v1 caught Ka range... He must have just switched it on
as he saw me... I had enough time to hide my v1 though...
The guy was cool, knew the car right away. I'm not blaming him.
I think he caught my speed, got into it right away and thanks to my innocent face
and a clean record got nice and decided to make it a bit easier to me.
It sucks as I feel much safer using v1 at night as they leave their things on
all the time. Being caught into this instant on thingy sucks as there is no defense.
