Speed enforcement CC to Reno

On a recent trip to Reno from CA, we encountered a situation on that new stretch of freeway between Bowers Mansion and Mt Rose Hwy. N bound, about mid-way on that stretch, there is a break in the center barricade. A NHP motor officer was sitting there holding a device to one of his eyes, observing the N bound
traffic. I was doing about 72 mph in a 70 zone, no problem. My radar detector did not alert.

Further on down the road, there was another NHP motor officer just completing a stop. He made a U turn shortly after that, heading back S. So I assume there were two of them, taking turns working that stretch.
Any of you locals familiar with this situation? Were they using Lidar? My detector had that enabled I think, but as I said, no alert. They were not there when we returned to CC the next day, nor when we drove back home the day after that.
Thanks, Norm.

that's classified information we cant post that if any Californians found out it could be a disaster

Wait What??!!!

Right, it was laser. It likely didn't trigger your detector since the beam is so narrow, it would have to be aimed pretty much right at the sensor to work.

Was this on the "new" section of 395? I've been up and down 395 a lot of times, but only once since the completed that new part.

Motors has purchased about half a dozen of those units in the north, I don't know how many they have in the south. I saw them training with them the other day at Mustang. They had at least 5 that I could count when I went by at 78mph.

he possibly didn't pull the trigger, you should be able to get "signal splatter" even if not aimed right at you. I have an Escort 8500 and I get laser , short beeps but enough to alert me to check speed. If you are the head of the pack, you are dead meat. Over 8, your okay. 9 maybe, 10 you will be talked to.

Thanks for the comments guys, kinda thought so. That was on the new section of 395, a speeders dream.

Typically NHP doesn't bother you except for ten and over.
