The police and courts hold a high standard than the civilian is held to.

There are proceedures and training involved for many reasons.

There are serious radar and LIDAR issues as the technologies aren't as fool proof as the public is lead to believe.

I find it very disappointing that most of the time you get lied to.

Its shouldn't be an us vs. them mentality, who do you call when your in trouble?

But with these "infalible" laser guns, with three beam laser diodes, being used far beyond the 1997 NJ Superior court ruling (LTI Laser guns where on trial then......since reinstated around 1998) of 1,000 feet, there will be WRONG SPEEDS calculated and problems.

Until the mentality of a 70 and 85 MPH being equal.......................
"Everyone's speeding, so the fine really doesn't matter" is cleared and the
usual ticket is now written for 15MPH and above (I wonder why) issues will remain.

Writing a 20 plus MPH over ticket isn't going to make it "Stick".
Its going to polarize people into looking harder at the speed detection methods.

I've been tagged for 70 in a 50 when I was between 50 - 55. I WATCHED THE GUY take my reading after he let the last one go. HE was obviously visible to me and I wasn't speeding. HE pulled me over for 70MPH and no front plate.........(the real reason I feel) then he charged me $50 extra on the schedule fee.

He said I could talk about it in court: and placed the burden on me.
Nearly impossible to defend against a secret technology; "infalible" is was told....................... :roll:

Now look whose getting the truth out..........
No more easy money.

I fault bad training, bravado and being lazy (NOT FOLLOWING PROCEEDURES) as the root of most of the rogue tickets.

But until the systems fixed and the technology ACTUALLY works like LEOs are TOLD it does............we'll have to continue the uphill climb or guilty before prooving our innocence.

We all need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

That also means not doing 30 plus over the limits..................
