Officers test laser speed<br> guns to bolster cases BLACKSTONE, Va. — Police officers took aim this week at vehicles zipping down a runway in tests meant to convince judges that laser speed guns - increasingly popular among law enforcement - are as accurate as their radar cousins.

Through three days at the Virginia National Guard's Fort Pickett, about an hour southwest of Richmond, the contraptions screeched and whined as the officers zeroed in on their targets - a variety of vehicles including, cars, trucks, a large van and motorcycles.
