When an offender is going faster than that low pitched tone of all other traffic, the radar emits a higher pitched tone. Visual is obtained and based on visual, the offender's vehicle speed is locked after observation.

Now visual acuity and speed is easy. I live on a 25 mph road. I can tell you within +/- 2 mph how fast a vehicle is traveling 95% of the time.

Fastest vehicle I have caught was a Chevy Cobalt SS..128 in a 55, stationary. Took me 3 miles to get him, 4 seperate choices of freeways after I clocked him and was luck. The plate came back to a city south and I took the freeway I thought he would take..

And he tried to fight it...Yea, right.

BTW, I am VERY liberal with tickets..I know how I drive and am not a hypocrite. We all are required to have insurance, registration, plates and drive safe. I don't have a ticket quota, so I take care of the real crappy drivers that may at some point cause you an accident. Just ask DDustin here on this board. He got in an accident in my precinct in Detroit with his 2SS with 500 miles on her. Idiot hit him and didn't have insurance.

So if at some point somebody here gets a ticket, one of 4 things are true. Either you did it and the cop is nice, you did it and the cop is a dick, you didn't do it and the cop has a quota or the cop is a dick and has a quota. Not all of us are sanctamonious pricks. I am just like you.

Off my soapbox..sorry for the ramblings.

we need more cops like you here in jersy would save the state a whole lot of money ....
