Since the theory *is* valid, this is no real surprise.
I was in Maryland just last week and saw a laser trap on eastbound
I-70 a few miles west of Baltimore. It was like a typical VASCAR
setup, with the cop parked on the median near the top of a hill
looking across the valley at cars as they crest the opposite hill.
Rather than timing them between the VASCAR lines painted on the road,
however, there was a laser unit set up on a tripod. As the Maryland
State Police are known to do, the cop's car was maroon in color,
unmarked, and had its trunk lid raised in an effort *not* to look like
a speed trap. He already had someone pulled over as I drove by.
