I almost got caught coming down the incline of the SM bridge. Moto cop was sitting at the bottom of the bridge taking his pick. Are those new units they look through laser or radar? What detector do I need?

Sounds like laser
Laser is one shot and you're toast. I think a laser jammer is the only device you can use to prevent the ill effects of having a laser device used against you.

How do you know you've been hit? Tickets?
I've had a similar thing happen, but never been pursued (knock on wood). Not too sure why, whether he just was incompetent or lazy or what.

Very illegal
Its not clear to me what the penalty is. Probably a stiff fine. I've read in a few places that its a misdemeanor. An article in the Contra Costa Times said that its a felony, but I can't back that up. Word is that it also violates a FCC regulation.

2nd - a friend of mine had to pay a big fine (> $1000). 11-99 member.
Uninstalled it afterwards.
