Point to Point Radar

Hey do we have these on the coast? I just got pulled over by a cop and he said I was caught speeding by a point to point radar, and he basically said that the evidence will be reviewed and I will be informed.

If this is true I am DEAD no licence what so ever because of the speed I was going.

Just spoke to my cousin whos freind is a cop and spoke to her and she was on duty at the moment, Its some new gadget shit it was entering the highway on the coast i will be summond to court and lose my licence in speeds excess of 175.

Oh well shouldnt have been speeding

Yes the new point to point can get you from up to 1km away....

Its not affected by curves on the body of a car and heat waves do not affect it either... Very accurate and effective way to detect speed in a second or so.... Do not have to track a car for 30 metres or more to get the reading either... 1 seconds contact is enough.... I think ill have to get back to the lab to develop the invisibality device (James Bond style)..... Switch activated of course.... Cars here, now its not......

Just dont park in a car park with it turned on.... It would get smashed up good.....

This sounds quite interesting...

I am curious to know how they will claim that you are speeding.

ie. with previous stuff you would have a photo with a read out of the speed limit, and the

speed you were doing.

Will they send you a series of formula's and calculations? E=MC^2= speeding skyline.

That aside, I hope that you do get your license suspended. You not only endanger yourself

and others by doing speeds in excess of 175km/hr, but you give the rest of us bad names.

Your 19, P-Plater? Import? Turbo? Speeding? anybody see this on Today Tonight?? (gee i wonder)

Oh well shouldnt have been speeding

You said it yourself.

yeah.. if it was 1km away.. you could claim he was just locking onto somebody else..

and unless there was proof in evidence? And by the time he has caught up you are pretty much going to go "what are you talking about". It won't take long before its challenged in court - seems prone to error. I am sure nothing can be that accurate with just getting a 1 second reading.

It happens in VIC where a cop can just claim that sitting behind you with their perfectly calibrated speedo that you were speeding.. but its been proven that this is prone to error. A couple of VIC members challenged this in court and got reduced sentences. In a way in does really come down to your word against theirs and a good lawyer.

Although theoretically if you were in front of a large truck then he is not going to be sitting behind you is he... and they still have to ..

anyhow.. lol

To determine the speed of individual vehicles it would require the kind of radar/phased array technology in a modern fighter jet/attack helo/AWACS and be able to display each vehicle and discriminate clearly. Even then these mega buck systems are able to be fooled by environmental anomolies.

Anyway, I'm not going to help you get out of this. Wear it. That speed is stupid. Come to a bloody race track.

hey can a cop holding a radar on the side of the road pick you up speeding then just write down your plates and send you a fine or do they have to pull you over to fine you?

does this apply with this new point to point radar thing aswell?

Although I don't condone doing 175kph on a public road, under any circumstances, if you wanted to choose the safest public area to do it in, Smith St to Helensvale is it...

1 northbound emergency lane, 4-5 northbound traffic lanes, another northbound emergency lane, 2 lane wide median with those bendy cable barriers, southbound emergency lane, 4-5 southbound traffic lanes, and another southbound emergency lane... Dead flat, dead straight... a total of 1 entry and exit northbound, and the same for southbound... Basically a 110kph limited airstrip...

If you get caught doing 175 on a public road, then your going to go down, so be it... No complaints from me... It's when the cops start booking people for 125kph on the same stretch of road that I start to fume...

Just saw this thing on a cop car... anyone know what it is? sorry for the crap quality... i took it with my phone...

the thing im talking about is the white lump on the boot.... also to note I saw this same car pull someone over... i'd say it was for speeding cause he over took us on the left, must not had seen the cop car, but I was right on the limit, he was probably 20 over..... the cop waited about 30 seconds, then the bacon lights came on and sped up... I stopped at maccas to get a feed... after going thru the drive thru i drove past the cop writing the dude a ticket....

also to note, there was no sidewinder on the cop car.... only visible thing was this lump on the boot!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
