My last speeding ticket was at night with laser from 1500 feet. Then again, the officer repeatedly lied on the stand when I contested the ticket, so I'm betting he was full of $h!t anyway. (For example, he said he was sitting in the median. He was sitting on the furthest-away shoulder on the opposite side of the interstate.) When I went to contest the ticket, the guy sitting next to me had been clocked by the same officer at the same speed (85 mph) from the same distance at the same mile marker. That guy was driving a reticulated bus full of middle-school softball players that was governed at 75 mph. After he pulled the bus over, he came aboard the bus with his gun drawn and handcuffed the driver and made him sit in the back of the cruiser while he wrote him a ticket.
