Role and Responsibility of the Expert Witness - Engineer

An engineer expert witness (EEW) is an individual with specialized knowledge in the field of engineering, who provides assistance to the judicial system in comprehending the technical aspects relevant to their cases. They may be required to elucidate the application of scientific principles in specific scenarios, particularly in matters pertaining to laws and regulations. The EEW may testify on matters such as police pacing or clocking speed measuring devices, the geographical features of a specific roadway, and the correct usage of said devices.  All of our conclusions are drawn from evidence-based data, and are not based on speculations, untrustworthy pseudo-science or junk science.


Here are the key responsibilities of an expert witness in such cases:

  1. Technical Explanation: The expert witness provides a detailed technical explanation of how speed measuring devices (like pacing) operate.
  2. Accuracy and Reliability: They testify to the accuracy and reliability of the speed measuring device used in the case.
  3. Training and Certification: The expert witness outlines their own qualifications, training, and certification in using speed measuring devices. This helps establish their credibility in interpreting and presenting technical data to the court.
  4. Evidence Interpretation: They interpret the data obtained from the speed measuring device and explain its significance to the court. This includes clarifying how the speed measurement was taken, any relevant environmental conditions, and potential factors that may affect accuracy.
  5. Cross-Examination: During cross-examination, the expert witness defends their testimony against challenges from the defense. They may also address any discrepancies or alternative interpretations of the technical evidence presented.

Overall, the expert witness serves to educate the court on the technical aspects of the case, ensuring that judges and jurors can make informed decisions based on reliable evidence. Their role is critical in providing clarity and impartiality regarding the technical details of speed measurement in the context of speeding tickets or traffic violation cases.


What Is Pace Police and How Police Pacing Works? - Pacing / Clocking Speeding Tickets:

Pacing, also known as clocking, is a commonly used speed measuring device utilized by police and law enforcement officers for issuing traffic speeding tickets. It enables the police officer's vehicle to establish and maintain a c-distance from the target vehicle (yours/defendant) by following it from the rear, front, or side, while monitoring the police car / vehicle's speedometer. The police car speedometer may be placed on the driver side dashboard or centrally positioned within the dashboard, and it could be either digital or analog, depending on its construction. It may also be connected with cables or wires. To learn more about this device, please refer to the accompanying video.  Watch the video >


Police Pace / Clock Operating Procedure:

The competent law enforcement officer (police officer / trooper / deputy) may conduct a series of tests to help ascertain the correct functioning of the device unit, such as a speed measuring device. If the device's accuracy does not meet the necessary standards, additional action should be taken.


Distance For Police Vehicle Pacing A Target Vehicle (from markers) :

Police use different overall distance, which can depend on many factors, such as state laws / regulations, police department policy, weather conditions, terrain, lighting, roadway geometric and traffic. These pacing distances can vary from double digits to quadruple digits .


Police Pacing  Traffic - Accuracy

The accuracy specification level varies depending on the operator, such as a police officer, state trooper, deputy or sheriff, and their proficiency in using the pacing speed measurement device accurately. The speedometer device itself should have a maximum variation of digits (+/-), and it is essential to have it diligently assessed by an expert.


Marginal Tolerance Pacing Errors

Inaccuracies in measurements may arise if the device used to measure pace/clocked/pacing speed is not operated correctly, tested and/or defective.


Pacing / Clocking Speeding Ticket - Trial Preparation:

The accuracy specification level varies depending on the operator, such as a police officer, state trooper, or sheriff, and their proficiency in using the pacing speed measurement device accurately. The speedometer device itself should have a minimal variation of digits (+/-), and it is essential to have it diligently assessed by an expert.
