What.... the...... f*ck.

Police in the state are given training in guessing the speed of passing vehicles...

Got me stuffed how it can stand up in court. The radar gun is required to have an accuracy of stuff all, yet the copper is allowed to vary between 8km/h. 3km/h is the difference between no fine and a fine here, so 8 km/h will wrongly charge people; and which way do you think the ego tripping copper will lean? I have no issue with police, but don't hand them more power than they require to do their job.

This isnt really new news, in Australia they can guess your speed too. The cop just needs to be following you to get the average speed.

To true. I overtook an undercover 22km/h to fast and he pulled me over giving me a pretty good guess of 20km/h to fast. He didn't book me though which is great since I intend to join the police and that wouldve delayed my application by a year...

Yeah, so I don't think this new law in America is nothing new. I'm surprised it wasn't already law. But its unclear. For example:

In Australia a cop car usually paces behind you to get an average speed which works, for example I once tried this dead of night in a 70KM/h zone and a car zoomed past me. I sped up to a very high speed to catch up. When I finally did I was cruising behind him at 85KM/h in the 70KM/h zone, clearly the guy was doing an average of 82KM/h in the 70KM/h zone.
