now that sounds like a myth. I got pulled over 1 time and the cop said, "you're speeding." I said, "horse hockey! lets see the gun." he repyled, "I don't have you on radar. I was pacing you." then I had some scarcastic comment and he went back to his car. when he came back he said, "slow it down a little." and I said, "ok". good night.
if what you said is true then police depts. would save millions by not buying the radar/laser guns. they could just pull people over and say, "it Looked like you were doing 80mph here's your ticket."
I might be wrong but I doubt it. I'm gonna do some research.
