colorado radar???

Just finished my trip back to Idaho. The Valentine worked great. But I got the scare of the trip in Colorado(I-70). I passed 5 troopers who were going east in a 5 mile span. No squeek at all from the Valentine. First time I've ever met troopers running without their radar on. To pass FIVE, is like letting it ride at the blackjack table and hitting "blackjack" 5 straight times. Do they typically run without radar on or did I hit shift change and they did not want to be delayed from going home?

lots of answers here..
Could be they use radar.. and V1 only goes off when the laser is fired at you or hopefully the car in front of you.

Any way you slice it, I am banking, they were not using any anti-speed devices when they passed you. Otherwise, your V1 would have told you.
Maybe they were on their way to a seminar, conference, etc.
Not all troopers do traffic stops either.

Don't worry, your V1 is fine.
