Joe Atkins

I was caught for speeding- 64 in a 45 mph zone in Roswell, Georgia. I don;t believe I was going that fast. The police were on private property that the owner has had to chase them off of the property in the past. The motorcycle officer was very evasive , as to when he was certified, and as to when the gun was calibrated when put into use, etc. The gun is a Kustom Prolaser. I had to go through a lot of paperwork to get information on the last calibration of the gun and I asked if going up a hill or the age of the gun would affect the reliability of the gun in any way. I never received an answer. My question is two fold (1) how relaible is the gun, and (2) any suggestions to beat the charge.

I would appreciate any help; please send replies to me at runnerstop1234@aol.com.
Thank you.

The videos are demonstrations that panning/sweeping errrors are easy to accomplish (but I doubt there's any crooked cops trying to meet their quota this way). If the LEO sweeps your hood as you're coming down a hill, he could easily read your speed plus 10MPH. If you're already PSL+10 you're now PSL+20 and SOL.

Sounds like you're dusting LOL.

Nope, no experience with lidar guns so I guess I talk out of order but do agree, the ground is not a hood nor a grille.

And you don't need to touch or shoot one to understand the potential flaws with it.
