Speeding ticket advice?

What you mean Davidreid is using out of date information, or just making stuff up?

One smartphone with on board gps, how common and cheap are they?, installed with free app 'my tracks', is all that is needed.

Really?

You may need to read the rules of evidence if you are going to push that barrow.

I accept my manual is a couple of years old, I have just requested the latest one, plus guidelines for radar use.

But made it up ? Nope. I can always back up everything I say.

Unlike the cop who is alleging 127 km/hr after apparently locking it then deleting it.

Sort of begs the question though doesn't it.

If the radar is capable of locking the reading, and the cop says he did lock the reading, why would he delete the reading unless the evidence was a lower speed or didn't exist at all ?

Good post and very good question about deleting the reading.

how does a privately owned speed camera become evidence for a conviction or more?

Good articles, which demonstrate that the courts will accept a motorists GPS data.

It also shows that the court is also aware that doppler radar, (as I have raved before) cannot identify the target vehicle.

A motorcycle 100m from the radar may well have a reflection smaller than the truck 400m away.

Years ago you used to be able to get off if the cop was unable to prove radar "Calibrabtion" in the last 6months or other specific shedualed period. Maybe today's computerised systems do not need frequent calibration.

Its probably being calibrated in Masterton today against the WW2 Lufftwaffe aircraft it was designed to detect.
