The worry Jantar is that the laser was 10% out. Laser has been touted as the most accurate speed measuring device in the Police arsenal. There will be people walking who were doing an actual speed under 140km/hr, if this guy is still using the same uncalibrated laser gun.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Jim, you cannot question the police. They are right. You are wrong. Don't let facts or reality get in the way here. Now repeat after me - "Cops are never wrong."

looks interesting
"The effective range of laser and it's performance are reduced by heavy rain, smoke, fog and any other airborne pollutants. Laser is difficult to used at night, some headlights and driving lights give off substantial infra-red light, this reduces the performance of the laser substantially. Targeting vehicles at night is very difficult, the laser beam is not visible, and the operator is looking into the flare of vehicle headlights."
It also mentions that laser detection measures distance to an object, and then measures distance over time to get a speed...
so if your local cop has a shaky hand you're buggered.

Good tv1 presentation... Up to their normal level of bullshit and governmental propaganda.

Indeed.
Look at what they tried to do with the radio waves back in the days that radio hauraki had to go out offshore. Nothing has really changed on the TV and its still owned by the crown. Secret agenda? I'd say so...Good tv1 presentation... Up to their normal level of bullshit and governmental propaganda.
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

Sorry about that. "Someone" else mentioned laser.
Nonetheless, that's an incorrectly calibrated radar unit capable of removing the license from an admittedly less than innocent party, but one not judged to have been deserving of that fate by the "new" legislation.

Although this is done almost instantly, using the interferance from the reflected beam of light... over the disance of a few nm.
Shakey hand won't make much difference, unless he's aiming at the person coming up behind you

debating whether laser or radar has innacuracies is a moot point.
The main concern here in this thread is (1) how media can be so biased and become a mere propaganda tool, and (2) what kind of bastards we have sitting in the beehive eating our tax money only to generate mindless knee-jerk and blatantly-biased regulations.
Also, I've tried listening to parliamentary debate sessions in the radio and watching some parliamentary sessions on TV........damn I was eating my heart out........Is that how my tax money is being spent???? Paying these clowns that debate whether "the question should be 'has' rather than 'had'" etc?

Because there is NO way a standard, normally aspirated Suzuki Hayabusa can hit 330 km/hr. The maximum quoted speed in the tests performed by a large proportion of the motorcycling press over a period of years is 305-307 km/hr. As stated in another article I posted, a 'busa needs an extra 65 HP over stock to get to 327km/hr.
Therefore the radar or laser unit was reading 9.2-10% high.

Immature and proud of it.
To my knowledge, Stalker laser or radar doesn't read to 330. (I'll check the specs at home)
Nor will a stock 'Busa do it.
Another cop with the shakes from sugar withdrawal was reading a 3 instead of a 1.
This is a softening up tactic for some future policy.
BTW TVNZ is owned by the Govt, is it not?
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.
Kiwi back at home!
Most modern bike speedos stop at 299. Watch GR and you see him hit 299 and the speedo stay there even though the bikes revs increase.
.........
why the fuk did he stop?
and a suzuki doing 330
Immature and proud of it.
Stalkers are accurate to plus/minus 1.6 km/h. However, the operator may not be too concerned about correct operating procedure.

"channellling the Pleideans"
this is an aside, but I remember someone saying to me at the time the pleece were amalgamated with MoT black and whites "But how will we know who to hate now"
I believe that the decline in the general pubic's respect for the pleece can be traced directly to the first time a constable pulled over a motorist and taxed them.
