Speeding Tickets by Police Frontal Radar

Frontal Radar

Police frontal radar speeding citations are issued when a law enforcement officer utilizes a radar device to assess the velocity of oncoming vehicles. These devices can operate in either a stationary or mobile configuration. In the scenario presented in this video, the officer is employing the radar speed measurement device in the stationary frontal mode. These devices transmit radio waves that reflect off moving vehicles, enabling the computation of their speed based on the time interval required for the waves to return; additional information is available on the main website.

If a vehicle is identified as exceeding the designated speed limit (posted and/or area speed limit), the law enforcement officer may initiate a probable cause traffic stop and subsequently issue a speeding violation. The procedure may typically follows these steps:

1) Radar Gun Utilization

The police officer employs a frontal radar gun to assess the speed of vehicles, which can be operated in stationary or in moving mode.

2. Speeding Violation Determination

If a vehicle is confirmed to be exceeding the speed limit, the officer may conduct a probable cause traffic stop to issue a speeding ticket.

3. Issuance of Violation(s) 

4. Trial / Hearing 

Effective Defense - Expert Witness

An effective defense may involve retaining an expert, expert witness, as well as an engineer with specialization in the field of police radar pertaining to speeding tickets.

An expert witness concerning a police frontal radar (gun) speeding ticket is an individual with extensive qualifications in the domains of radar technology, traffic law, or law enforcement protocols. The primary function of this expert is to deliver professional testimony in court pertaining to the accuracy and appropriate utilization of radar devices employed in the issuance of a speeding citation. Such testimony may either affirm several key elements and/or factors of the speeding ticket and/or contest the dependability of the radar apparatus and the procedures of operation(s) adhered to by the law enforcement officer.
