The Offices of Perry J. Zucker, Degreed Engineers, is a reputable and accomplished forensic engineering firm that has been operating since 1993. Our team consists of highly skilled professionals, including in-house engineers, technicians, and support staff. We specialize in assisting defendants, attorneys and law enforcement agencies,  with police visual estimation / observation speeding tickets/violations, specifically for probable cause traffic stops/reasonable suspicion traffic stops.

Role and Responsibility of the Expert Witness - Engineer

An engineer expert witness (EEW) is an individual with extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of engineering. Their role is to assist the judicial system, including judges, juries, and lawyers, in comprehending the technical aspects relevant to their case. They may be called upon to elucidate the application of scientific principles to specific situations involving laws and regulations. The EEW may provide testimony regarding the utilization of police visual estimation/observation as a means of speed measurement, the characteristics of the specific roadway, and the appropriate use of the aforementioned device. It is important to emphasize that all of our conclusions are solely based on evidence-backed data rather than mere conjecture.

How do police visually estimate or observe speed?

In certain states, law enforcement officers may engage in an visual observation of a suspect vehicle, potentially combined with the use of speed measuring equipment such as radar, laser, gap timing, or pacing. The officer skillfully estimates the velocity of the vehicle being monitored based on their training and expertise.

Understanding Visual Estimation / Observation / Perception for Speed:

The use of visual estimations, observations to enforce speed limit laws, in order to issue speeding violations has NOT been given judicial recognition in all states.  Some departments may have their own specification(s) accurate level(s).

Visual Estimation / Observation for Speeding Ticket: Expert Analysis

Review all the documents and evidence that the officer intends to present on the trial date. Most police officers who issue speeding tickets utilize various speed measuring devices, such as radar, laser / lidar, pacing, clocking, gap timing, Vascar, and Robic, in conjunction with visual estimations or observations. These officers are considered experts in operating these devices. To mount the strongest defense, it is advisable to engage an expert witness who is an engineer specialized in the use of police radar, laser, lidar, pacing, pace, gap timing,Vascar, Robic speed measuring devices, as well as visual estimation, police training, vehicle characteristics, and court rules. It is worth noting that trial by declaration (mail) is rarely successful in certain states.
