Oregon seems big on this.

They dedicate an entire section on this to the public and then there is a UL training video which shows a test run between two UL (one w/DBC)

Let see, not only does the cop have to get one measure correct and do everything correctly, he has to do it twice. We know they can not get peoplse speeds correct what makes then thing they could even attempt to do this right.

But I rather them ticket people for following too close then speeding.

When I lived in CA they use to ticket more for following too close and lane changing then speeding.
