Hand Held Radars

[sporthatch141]

Driving along the South East Freeway (QLD) heading back towards town there was roadworks being done. Speed signs went from 100 - 40 KM/HR. Low and behold there was a police officer (usual at roadwords) but he had a hand held radar!

What I am curious about is can they take pictures or do they need to pull you over to write a ticket? I know in other states (WA,NSW) they are capable of taking still images just like their mobile vans. Is this the case in QLD?

I can only imagine that if he was able to take pictures then there would be alot of people with fines..... :(

topic moved .... woohoo first moderator operation i perform ;)

Oh and yes if its a hand held they have to pull u over as u can question a hand held and they are required to show it to u if u do question it i believe

doesn't matter if you question it or not, they have to show the reading to you in order to write the ticket... if they do not you have grounde for appeal... I learnt lots in the 3 months off... ;)

Even better still, a texas instruments Impact Diode (not called that anymore for obvious reasons) and some simple electronics. A 20mhz signal from police radar to your car and a return signal from the diode at over 200Mhz... say goodbye police radar...lol.
