Hmm I think it definitely makes sense to be in that position for cops in median clocking cars passing them (pointing same direction). But when a cop is shooting cars moving toward him it seems the radar will be travel off at an angle further away from the center of the road. I saw an audi with his detector very far to the passenger side of the car. I think he did it for that reason. I guess whatever works for each situation and individual is how it should be placed. I just compromise with smack dab in the middle of the windshield.
