Reply to "Speeding Defense?"

If there was more than one moving object (car) on the road, the radar equipment would not have been able to sort your car out from amongst the others at that range. Laser can be pin point accurate, not radar. If there is more than one vehicle on the road the cops assume the radar is detecting the speed of the closest vehicle, or the vehicle that enters the range of the radar first. In reality, it can be the largest or flattest vehicle (think Peterbuilt) that gets detected. The shape of a Pantera, or any exotic, is not very radar friendly from the front. Its all very "iffy" and that's why it is easy to beat if you come to court equipped with the proper info for the judge.

I've never heard of anyone being tagged 1/2 mile away with radar. You'll need to consult the manufacturer's spec, and the books or web sites on the subject. There are experts out there who can give you the straight dope. I've shared about as much as I know on the subject. One point I want to get across to everyone, law enforcement relies upon the ignorance of the public in regards to their use of radar based speed measurement. If you call them on their methods, you're case will most likely be dismissed.

I'm sure the best defense will vary state by state and provence by provence, depending upon how their laws are written and how their legal systems view the subjects of speeding and radar.
