This pretty much scared me. I think if I were driving over 45, I wouldn't be able to react - It was only 200 feet or even less !

I dunno what kind Radar the cop carried, but I am sure he did not look at me when I saw him. So that seemed his radar was already ON..........huh? I thought V1 should be able to see a radar much ealier than I see, I am wrong?
If he wasn’t looking at you it may have been pointing a different direction, radar is very directional.

1- I/O.
2- Radar gun facing different direction.
3- Your glass blocks radar.

3 seems to be possible because the V1's are very sensitive and go off constantly. And it sounded like it hasn’t made a peep for you.

What car do you have?
