EDIT: I missed the link to the court case the first time. Looks like this case involved BOTH visual estimation and verification by electronic means. The case is somewhat messed up though. The officer estimated 70 MPH, but the radar said 82 MPH?? I probably wouldn't have stopped the vehicle since the radar was telling me something considerably different from my visual estimation.


Just because the court said that visual estimation was viable, it doesn't mean that officers are going to spend all day writing citations based solely on visual estimation. This issue is old news since officers receive extensive training and are suppose to make visual estimations even when using radar, laser, lidar...
