Speeding LIDAR

[COHO73]

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: WASHINGTON GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY
70+ IN A 60
DISCOVERY IS BACK AND I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OFFICERS STATEMENT
AND NO IRLJ 6.6 WITH LIDAR AFFIDAVID

1 OFFICER STATED HE WAS ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER (WHAT ONE) WITH A CLEAR VIEW
2 HAD A CLEAR TONE AT 1446.2 FEET THAT SEEMS LIKE A LONG WAY ALMOST 3 TENTHS OF A MILE
3 WSP HILLOCK CERTIFIED 4/1/11 AND THEN 8/11/11 I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP IN OTHER POSTS

If you don't post the discovery response, we can't help you.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT THERE IS A MAXIMUM DISTANCE FOR LIDAR SMDs IN WASHINGTON STATE (OR ANY OTHER STATE FOR THAT MATTER)?

Now why are you doing that? It's like saying Candyman into the mirror in the movies, it summons You-Know-Poo.

If there's one thing the Nancy Grace types on this forum really hate...it's questioning the papal infallibility of LIDAR. Not applicable with any other speed measurement. The "distance" is not addressed in 49 states. Sort of like having a microwave, but not using the timer. Just put it in however long. It's irrelevant. Ask in court if there's a "recommended distance" taught during training (it will be below that number). Don't be surprised if the prosecutor starts chanting and tries to shut you up. If it's a judge who actually knows about LIDAR, they'll listen. Some judges won't. It's luck of the draw.

New Jersey does have a LIDAR distance threshold of 1000ft (anything beyond that requires expert testimony which is not economically feasible for the state). There's a reason for it.
