Ever wonder why cops don't check uphill speeds...

Yeah no joke. There is always at least one or two in the same spots every single morning. I started seeing a lot more bike cops but now that the weather is getting super cold (for cali weather), I see maybe one bike cop a week.

Just made me wonder if those speed guns actually work if you point them at the mirror haha.

I have never tried, but they refract. That’s how we get the reading. We need visual confirmation, so we don’t use the mirror. Our visual confirmation coincides with the reading on the LIDAR.

I figured as much, that's why I was kinda confused. So I guess he was clocking people coming south.

I guess one more thing to be on the lookout for haha.

I always tell people to employ this rule: if you ever see a cop parked somewhere observing traffic, never speed by that spot again.

If we go to that spot once, we’ll go there a hundred more times.
