The Land Of The Lurking LEOs

I was westbound, returning home on interstate 90 through Wyoming after a jaunt into middle America. 

It was dark out and V1 Gen2 beeped a few times on Ka-band.  Ka is serious stuff and I immediately eased back to 80, the speed limit in this state.  About 0.8 of a mile later, more squawks on Ka.

Just because I couldn’t see the threat didn’t mean the threat couldn’t see me.  I locked the cruise at the posted limit.  Having traveled 1.6 miles from the initial alert, Ka lit up once again, and at this point, I could make out not one, but two, prowl cars parked side-by-side in a median crossover.  By the time I passed them, I was 2.25 miles from the initial alert point.

That’s early warning and I like it.
