I've seen a very casual approach to identifying the actual offender. Then there's the discrepancies that incorrect use of laser guns can cause.
And there's the old favourite - cosine error, which can work for or against the taxpayer.
But, what the hell, quota's a bit low for the day. All the "hard core" speeders are at home, whaddaya gonna do?
Speed doesn't kill people.
Stupidity kills people.

That may be so. But is the speed you see accurate? Or is it affected by the rain?
Same goes for laser, even smoke and heat shimmer can affect them.

Kiwi back at home!
what I was reffering to is the fact the rain could trigger a high reading from difficulty of getting a good return to assertain patrol speed, then you ping some poor soul driving towards you in the rain for 1xx kmh and he has no recourse to get off said ticket.

Mate, you don't need to tell me how the damn thing works.
It won't display anything on the readout if the ground speed isn't established first. When it has read an incorrect ground speed it has been quite obvious and almost always reads considerably lower than the true speed. Other times it will add the target and patrol speeds together and give you a way out reading thats obviously ridiculous.
In stationary mode rain doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect on the radar at all.

See my post after yours. The errors noted in rainy conditions are quite obvious. If you are getting errors you just turn the thing off untill the weather improves.

Like it matters, I got a 140kmh from an undercover on my 600. Tried to look in the window to check for an equipment, saw nothing so over took on the left, then weaved my way up the motorway. Saw the lights, knew I was on the reserve so I pulled over.
"you were doing between 130 and 140kmh", ticket was for 140kmh. No evidence but if it goes to court, who are they gonna believe? If a cop says you did it, and you dispute it .. yeah .. sure they'll believe a 24 year old on a 600cc sports bike.
I wave to every biker I see.

A standard 'busa that will do 200mph is a VERY rare thing. Out of all the tests that I posted the link for, concatenated from years of tests and many of the World's best Motorcycle Magazine's only one his 200.2mph and that was Bike in 1999. You will note that they were using the wind to their advantage in that story too.
Most other magazines struggled to get to 192 on average. 200 mph is 327km/hr. Which means that the speed allegedly recorded by the anecdotal cop is hugely unlikely.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Now maybe I'm wrong, but do you think there's anything that could be drawn from these two statements that just MIGHT explain what's going on here?
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Must go faster - but how?
Who gives a shit?
If you're pinged and stopped, you were going to fast.
If the laser recorded speed says 120, and you were 115, your bad.
Given ideal conditions, what's the margin of error?
At the rise of the hand by Policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him by or otherwise disrespect him.

LIke I said before George, if you are doing a real 129km/hr and that particular unit pings you, you are walking.

I have always been givin the opportunity to check the clocked speed.
I didn't think they could guess your speed

Yes, but what if you were doing 120, and the police car 100, and they say you were doing 220?
Could it happen?

Anything's possible.
I had a dream about this last night...I'd attached my video camera to the tank and had the speedo on video, it clearly showed that I was doing the speed limit but I got a ticket for 3,829Kmph and 18 trillion demerit points.
I took the system to court and defended myself and won, the media coverage was huge! I became instantly famous and went on to defend other motorists.
