A 5 second alert, would be fine, but I guess that is a wrong assumption on my part. Don't get me wrong, the 9500ix has saved me countless times before but this time was weird.

I am sure it was lidar. Iv'e seen a consistent increase of laser usage in the past few months here in SoCal. 73, 241, 405, 55, 133, 91, and 5 - from North San Diego county all the way up and over the Tejon Pass.
Like others said there is much less scatter with laser...especially at close range. If I remember correctly, at 1000' the laser circle is 36"...not big at all
Just like radar you need to be able to distinguish from laser falses (parking/speed sensor, sun glint, sunlight from low on the horizon, or random laser source) or actual threat. The problem is with lidar if it was an actual targeting by a LEO, boom, ticket. No warning.
PM me or meet at C&C and we can talk about it more!
