    Default Re: Officer's Claims About His Radar

    There are certain requirements depending on the state. Usually they won't work but every once in awhile you can come up with something. There was one situation where a department submitted the same certification for every ticket. They only had one unit calibrated as required by the laws of that state and used that certificate for every trial. This may be a urban legend since I have been unable to verify but I would not be surprised.

    Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how that relates to my question? Maybe I have the question in the wrong area... a radar operator might know the truth about this.

    You're really going to state your question more clearly or I don't think anyone will have a good idea of what you're asking.

    OK, let me try rephrasing the question.

    In court, the officer said "The Golden Eagle radar takes the guess work out of the equation because it never produces false speed readings and displays "ERR" if the radar is not reading a moving vehicle."

    Since Kustom Signals claims on their website
    It is the policy of Kustom Signals, Inc., a private corporation, to not discuss any information concerning the internal functions or general operation of our radar and laser based speed measuring devices or any specific traffic situations.

    Kustom Signals does sell operator's manuals (U.S. only) for specific models of radar and laser equipment. To obtain a manual, a signed court subpoena is required. The fee for the manuals varies by model, from $30 to $45 plus $5 shipping and handling. Manuals are shipped via U.S. mail. These manuals are protected under the federal copyright protection act and cannot be copied and are non-returnable.

    Operation manuals describe how to setup and test the equipment. They do not discuss field operation or how the equipment responds in a specific situation. These are training issues and not covered in this manual.
    How can you possibly defend against a cop who would say something like this? Obviously paying for a manual won't help since it's only an installation manual.
