Default sneaky law enforcement

I was going 46 mph on a 30 today and one of those photo radar carts clocked me going 46. Do the radar carts take pictures of the rear of the car too? I only saw flashes go off at the front. Damn if I get this ticket, it will be my second in less than a year.

Photo Radar carts? Not sure on that one. I'd assume tehy take pix of both since some people dont have lisc plates in the front. Not sure though.

Photo Radar only takes pics of the back of your car. If you saw a flash, it might have been someone going the other direction getting busted.
Luckily, Photo Radar was banned here a few years ago.

The carts I see here in Los Angeles only show the speed with yellow digits. If you are going fast enough the speed changes to red and flashes red.

These are the small white trailers that make my V1 go berzerk from about a half mile away.

Not here.

In some states photo-tickets are not moving violations. Check and see if this is the case for you.

We have these carts in my town. They don't send you a ticket (yet) they just report speed.

When my buddy was working on his jeep we installed a speedometer. To calibrate we just found on of these and voilla! A calibrated speedo!
