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.

[strutto]

Haven't heard of it before... Where exactly was this?

[SkylineSII]

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

[strutto]

Yeah but where exactly mate... what suburb, road, etc?

[SkylineSII]

Off smith street onto the highway towards brisbane. then i got of the highway and turned into helensvale where the cop pulled me over in an unmarked holden but he was in uniform.

Yeh I saw these new radars in the newspaper, can be mounted on the police car dash and can detect all in front of them the speeds of other cars.

[strutto]

Cheers mate... Good to know where and what we are facing when it comes to the "Killer of all Killers - SPEED!"

[Col-GTSX]

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.....

check this out.... interesting stuff

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?

lets go!!

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!

[strutto]

I've seen those on cop cars before too... NFI what it is though...

[predator]

It emits Quarter Pounder and Subway odors into the cabin, to keep the cops working...

Looks like some kind of mailgnant growth to me.

They should and go and get it checked out, before it's too late
