I see what happened. You marked the speed trap, and the alarm you heard from the RD was just reminding you that you marked that location, not that there was any radar being used at the moment at that location. If you marked that location, it will go off at that spot every time, regardless of whether there's a cop there or not. The cop obviously had shut off the radar, which is why you didn't get an earlier warning.
