Radar
KU Police Officer Kevin Johnson clocked the speed of passing traffic from his patrol car in front of Green Hall yesterday.

"They are invable," Donnie says. "With radar you don't have to pace speeders or clock racers."
PACING INVOLVES driving alongside a car to clock its speed. That pairs two cars barreling together.
radar guns allowed police to clock speeders accurately without endangering the drivers.
And, Denney said. "A stopwatch is not really fair to violators. There are too many human
Police have used radar for the last 30 years to detect and identify speeding motorists. But a dilemma has surfaced recently about the efficacy of radar and its use as evidence in court.
"I don't feel sorry for people who get caught by radar." It isn't fair to the rest of the community to be caught.
IN A 1979 speeding case in Florida, a Dade County judge issued to allow radar readings to be used in the car.
Nesbitt threw the cases out because of the
Judge Alfred Nesbitt found that radar alone was too unreliable to sustain a speeding conviction. He dismissed 80 radar cases after the defense provided evidence that showed police radar clocking a tree at 84 mph and a house at 30 mph.
it is better than having a cigar-chomping sheriff tell you how fast you were going."
The term radar comes from the phrase "radio detection and ranging." Radar guns operate on the Doppler effect by sending out a continuous radar beam with a specific modulation. The radar beam bounces off moving vehicles and back to an antenna.
Depending on the car's direction, the radar beam is bounced back either compressed or stretched. The car's speed is determined by the car's lateral momentum and the original beam and the bounced reflection.
Stationary radar units emit only one radar signal. Moving-mode radar emits a low radar signal that monitors the patrol car's speed and a high signal that calculates the target vehicle's speed. The patrol car's speed is subtracted from the target vehicle's speed and then displayed.
IN 1977, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted tests in conjunction with the National Bureau of Standards on six vehicles. The tests were conducted by police departments throughout the country.
In a report written after the tests, the bureau failed to adopt any official standards, but it did make several recommendations that states have used when setting their standards.
Some states have set up stringent controls on the manufacturing of radar units and on the

Muni. Staff. Elliott of the Kansas Highway Patrol said that the state of Kansas did not require standards on radar usage, but that the Highway Patrol did.
"Regular officers have a considerable amount of training before we allow them to use radar."
The Highway Patrol requires its officers to go through 50 hours of training before operating radar units. The officers are taught how to use radar and how to visually estimate the speed of
DENNEY SAID that all of KU's officers had been trained by a representative from Kustom Electronics, manufacturers of KU's only radar unit.
"I constantly amazed at police department that get radar and don't train officers to use them."
Jerry Miller, customer services representative of Kustom Electronics of Chanute, one of the nation's two largest manufacturers of radar systems, said he had never been upheld by Kansas courts.
