One silly question on this tactic...
When anyone is stopped and charged with speeding on the basis of a radar unit, they have the right to insist on being shown as well as having it proven to them that the radar unit that said they were speeding is within calibration and tested within a certain time frame.
If this guy is standing in a construction zone a mile down the road and radio'ing down the line who to stop, then how is this going to happen? Sure sounds like grounds for a good lawyer to get all of them off on a tech violation...
I do not advocate speeding in any construction zone but as PWD said before, if they were really interested in safety and slowing people down they have used a black and white. Clearly they are going for the cash and points over safety and thats were we have to get creative. Here in Phoenix they put the speed traps in the newspapers...
Long live the Valentine One... after the you are past the construction zone that is...
