But a dilemma has surfaced recently about the efficacy of radar and its use as evidence in court. 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 radish is highly accurate. "Grenzek said." And it is better than having a cigar-shredded sheriff document. Judge Alfred Nesbitt found that radar alone was too unreliable to sustain a speeding conviction. He dismissed 80 radar cases after the defense produced evidence that showed police radar clocking a tree at 84 mph and a house at 30 mph. Depending on the car's direction, the radar beam is bounced back either compressed or stretched. The car's speed is determined by the camera angle and the distance to the original beam and the bounced reflection. Nesbitt threw the cases out because of the IN A 1970 speeding case in Florida, a Dade County judge refused to allow radar readings to be used as evidence. 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. The term radar comes from the phrase "radio detection and ranging." Radars gun 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. police radar. realized Masterson was in the agent John Hoos said.

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 them to visually estimate the speed of vehicles. "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'm constantly amazed at police departments that get radar and don't train officers to use it." 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 can recall any speeding cases successfully challenging radar's accuracy in Kansas.
