Most, if not all officers who run LIDAR or radar have to be proficient at estimating speed as part of their training for the use of any speed measuring equipment, particularly LIDAR.
Estimation of your speed is a precursor (actually mandated) in order to "tag" a car using LIDAR. In essence, when I testify, I have to state that I observed you passing cars and or were approaching faster than other traffic and I estimated you traveling at 95-105 mph, I then acquired the target vehicle with my LIDAR unit which relayed a read of 108 mph at xxx.x feet.
The range on LIDAR depends on terrain...even fog or rain. I have had hits as far as 1300 feet, further on long stretches. 1/4 mile is well within any LIDAR or Radar unit.
