A user can hit a license plate and there's no way it will pick it up.
RADAR on the other hand has a cone and can be detected... but like I said, it's also too late since you've been tagged and the user already estimated your speed with + or - 3mph (1mph if they're an Instructor).
So I highly doubt that device is telling you an accurate story. But if anyone is in Colorado with these devices I'd love to test them for you. But I think you're going to be disappointed.

My neighbor is Florida Highway Patrol. I bought this until on his recommendation. We tested it with his cruiser, which is Laser and Ka equipped. [VERY few cuisers have laser.] When he hit me with Laser, the detector lights up with word "Laser". When he hit me with Ka, it lights up with "Ka".
