The reason is simple. When you got tagged, everyone behind you with a
laser detector got the warning.  Laser is a straight tight beam but it
has leakage. A detector will pick it up when someone else gets tagged
near you.

In this case, you were the sucker.  Don't ever be the fastest car in the
vicinity. Find someone else travelling fast and sit 200 yds behind them.
