If he is a qualified laser/radar operator then where was his gun??? even still that doesn't mean he is qualified to say you were going xxmiles an hour. now if you were in a 25mph zone and were doing like 50mph then he could say you were doing above the speed limit, anybody can judge that, but if you were in a 45mph and even doing 50mph he can't say that you were speeding just on sight alone.

Another fun fact. in the 316 statutes it states that a cop can't use the radar gun alone to prove you were speeding, he must make an independant visual observation that would indicate your speed and it must be at a place that he can be certain you are the car the gun is reading. so on the hwy in a pack of several cars, all going 80mph and he clock you, he has no other evidence, you were with traffic not faster and other cars were close enough that he can't be sure it was you.

In your case you were alone, so it was you he heard, however you can be at 6krpms in first and doing 20mph but he hears 50mph. let us know how hard the judge smacks this idiot for wasting time. aren't the newer cavelier 1/4 times like 15.5sec at 88mph or something close.
