Section 3368 of the PA Vehicle Code:
blah blah laws.....
Paragraph 3:
Electronic devices which calculate speed by measuring elapsed time between measured road surface points by using two sensors and devices which measure and calculate the average speed of a vehicle between any two points may be used by any police officer.

I think everyone should read and understand the Vehicle Code for their state. It would save them a lot of hassles when receiving tickets or just knowing what they can and cannot do in general. |
Well...you aren't really convicted unless you are held under arrest so, the cop can pull you over for any speed above the limit. Conviction is determined in court, if he so chooses to go there since you (sorta) are innocent until proven guilty.
