Police have used radar for the last 30 years to Police have used radar for the last 30 years to detect and identify speeding motorists. But a dilemma has surfaced recently about the use of radar and in use as evidence in court.
police radar
A 1978 speeding case in Florida, a Dade County judge refused to allow radar readings to be taken.
Judge Alfred Nesbitt found that radar alone was too unrealistic to sustain a speeding conviction. He dismissed 89 radar cases after the defense produced evidence that showed police radar clocking a tree at 84 mph and a house at 30 mph.
Nesbitt threw the cases out because of the
radar is highly accurate," Greneker said "And it is better than having a cigar-chomping sheriff tell you how far we 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 vehicle's steering angle and the original beam and the bounced reflection.
"They're invaluable." Denney said. "With radar you don't have to pace speeders or clock them with a stopwatch."
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
Stationary radar units emit only one radar signal. Move-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.
James Denney, KU's director of police said radar guns allowed police to clock speeders accurately without endangering the drivers.

IN 1977, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted tests in conjunction with the National Bureau of Standards on six different models of radar units commonly used
And, Demney said. "A stopwatch is not really fair to violators. There are too many human fights."

Maj. Stuart 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.
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
"Regular officers have a considerable amount of training before we allow them to use radar."
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 departments 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 the radar had never been upheld by Kansas courts.
Neither Elliott nor Denney could recall any speeding cases successfully challenging radar's accuracy in Kansas. Each said his department's radar had moved 10 percent in most trials involving radar.
