 Could be.

 It's amazing how even an Olympic-class cynic like me can accept
great servings of crap when the Spin is done right. It never occurred
to me that the laser had to be *aimed*! I was carried away by the idea
that it was precise, but if there are two cars and a motobike...
precisely which one is it aimed at? You have a precision instrument
with a braindead cop on the other end of it. He's probably timing a
seagul!
