Interesting bit of info from GA:
In order to put these issues into context, we must ascertain the conditions which the General Assembly has imposed upon the admissibility of evidence of speed gained by a state law enforcement officer through use of a radar speed detection device. Evidence of speed obtained by a state officer by use of a radar speed detector is admissible if: (1) the device was "marketed under the name 'Vascar,' or any similar device operating under the same or similar principle which is approved by the Department of Public Safety for the measurement of speed, including any devices for the measurement of speed or velocity based on the principle of rader," (2) the state law enforcement agency "possesses a license in compliance with the applicable parts of 47 CFR, Part 89 of the Federal Communications Commission rules," (3) the device "before being placed in service and annually after being placed in service, is certified for compliance by a technician possessing at least a Second Class Radiotelephone License from the Federal Communications Commission," (4) the device has passed tests "for accuracy" conducted "in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended procedure" by the officer or officers using the device, these tests having been conducted "at the beginning and ending of each duty tour" and the results of the tests having been recorded and maintained, and (5) the vehicle from which the device was being operated at the time of its use was "visible to approaching motorists for a distance of at least 500 feet." Code Ann. §§ 68-2101 (b) (c), 68-2103, and 68-2107. Failure of proof as to any one of those elements results in the evidence of speed gained by use of the speed detection device being inadmissible.
So in GA, that camo crap wouldn't cut it and you'd get off.
Seems like this prohibits tickets by cops on the side w/o lights on, behind bridges, on ramps etc etc.
Go to court in a bit for one of these....
I thought I help the masses.
I paid $40 for this information, much cheaper than the fine and insurance.
