In NY it's the same & has been for as long as I can remember. Radar is only used to back up the Officer's estimate of the speed. I was a Police Officer back in the 1980s -early 1990s & a certified Radar Operator. You had to be within 3 miles an hour of the actual speed to be certified.

If it doesn't go to the Supreme court I'd be surprised. Even IF it was an "egregious" violation and he was trying to get off, that reeks of what is appropriately called a police state. That , it would seem, also allows an officer ...with their special perceptions,to charge someone because it appeared that they may have stolen something. Pretty hefty decision in a country where you are SUPPOSED to me innocent until proven guilty. He killed that person because he looks like the type...God forbid. Seems like NO proof, just supposition on a revenue collectors part.

BINGO!
I've got to think eventually someone is going to challenge this all the way to the US Supreme Court under some type of "Innocent until proven guilty" issue. This is nothing more then a revenue generator for governments that simply can't live within thier revenue (taxes) means.
Think about this in a trial, the ticket recipients canny lawyer trots out 4 police officers, showing the cars traveling by and has them guess the speed. HMMM 4 different guesses, which one is accurate?
Our government is starting to look more and more like that in the movie "Brazil".

No other state stacks up to Illinois.
They have revenue collectors (Highway Patrol) lined up on every interstate to collect taxes. It's pathetic. They are on traffic constantly, never on patrol.
I make a point not to stop in Illinois to buy diesel, food, or anything. I also make sure I never get a ticket in Illinois

I'm sure that's because there just aren't any other real crimes to solve.  Much better to hang out and write tickets all day.
