Hypothetical question I have regarding radar gun errors.
If someone got a speeding ticket, and then went to the place where the radar gun reading was taken, and saw that there were not only branches from trees interferring with a clear shot but also light poles, etc (things that are static and not moving objects).
Could said person plea that the radar gun reading was an error? Even if the reading on the gun did say the person was going over the speed limit?
Further, if someone was driving in front of a large mass of traffic (say a single car driving about 1/2 km in front of 5 full lanes of cars about 5 cars deep), that a radar operator could easily mistake the car in front as speeding when in reality it was one of, or all of the cars directly behind the first car?
Appreciate the advice to my hypothetical question.
