Definitely nothing new, though it may just be that more of the cars/bikes/SUVs are equiped with it now vs. previously.
My buddy's cousin is an SJ cop said they have SUVs that they just drive down the street and it checks registration on cars via a camera to see if any of them are not reigsterered or registered non-op or reported stolen.

i ran into chp shooting yesterday under the first overpass on 680 through fairfield. he was so locked onto the radar he paid no attention to the ******* in the white s10 blazer riding my ***. i couldnt see the ****** headlights he was so close. as we passed i honked to get his attention,he looked up and looked down. they rely more and more on technology that their skills are going to ****.

Sorry bro, that really sucks getting caught. I don't know if it would help. But, if you need to get that ticket taken care of, I would recommend you contact Strider327 on i-club. He's pretty good with helping folks getting off on tickets. Although he doesn't guarantee a victory I have had 5 successful cases by him helping me out.

I saw 3 cars on 280 near the 380 interchange today. 2 of them pulled someone over and the 3rd one was shooting laser.
Then later on today I saw a few SFPD pull people over. Crazy, I usually never see SFPD ticket anyone.

I see CHP using laser in Sonoma County all the time. I would say that Laser is more common than Radar on 101-N.

i got a ticket for going 72 in a 65 at night with light traffic going the flow of traffic. That sucked. Fighting it cause he paced me.
If ur caught with a laser jammer, i think that's a pretty hefty fine.

I never realized my Radar Transmitter is legal.
I finally found the FCC reference, the K band is unlicensed, so as long as you follow the rules for power output and antenna size you can transmit on it. Hook it up to your door alarm.
The Ka band is licensed, you cannot transmit on it without a license.
