Houston PD shooting Instant On Ka radar (for a change)
Author: admin | Category: escort radar detectors
After nearly two years of pervasive laser strikes I picked up a Ka strike this morning from HPD shotting Ka 35.500 (Kustom Signals gun) behind an overpass.
This does NOT go down as a save however, since there were two cars working together the first LEO had a customer so I was already at the PSL. Although I started to ramp back up and catch that Mercedes I saw the roof of the second Crown Vic a second or so before he shot. So it’s an “eye” save so it stays off the books.

It’s getting to where I could post one of these a week. HPD running another “spotter” car/chase car configuration. This crew was fairly liberal with they’re citing of cross streets and landmarks so finding them was easy. Also, finally got the spotter car. Unmarked Dodge Charger. Big surprise.
Run 1 against Officer Fritter shooting the LTI. Apologies to Fritter for blocking an epic ticket on the ricer that blew by me going 95. That would have made his day.
Yeah, it works. I don’t know how but apparently it does. Fritter captured multiple speeds easily off the side view mirror and even the rear view mirror.
My second run against Officer Fritter yields a significant Punch Thru. Turns out I was being shot by both the LTi and the PL3. So its possible the ZR3 was trying to jam the 120 pps PL3 and was vulnerable to the 100 pps LTi.
After a JTG and a 1800 ft PT I made a third run against the LTi alone. Unfortunately, Fritter missed my flashing signal and shot late but still got a PT at around 600 ft.
The Laser Interceptor fails. Probably due to an overly stealth install. Once again enough time to slow down but not the JTG we were looking for.
Not a save since I don’t speed on surface streets. But a nice double shot from an HPD officer shooting from a side street on Westpark. I think this is a very good shooting position and a place that needs better speeding enforcement.
Chris_731 gets tagged by both the LTi and the PL3. Once again possible cross talk between the guns might cause the ZR4 to be vulnerable to a PT. However, it looked like there was still enough time for him to slow down.
