RE: Link

30 seconds is a lifetime when accelerating or slowing a vehicle, particularly if one drives with a leadfoot...or sees a police car and slows quickly. It seems obvious to me that 30 second interval GPS pings don't prove much and are certainly less credible than a radar reading and the opinion of the officer. Too bad the county had to waste needed funds prosecuting this. Kudos for the outcome.

What a waste of time & taxpayer money. I'm pleased with the outcome ONLY because this case is ridiculous. The math presented in the case is indisputable and likely the officers radar was dead on. In 15 years of traffic enforcement, he probably knows how to target the right car. The defense's evidence is weak - Kimber is correct in saying 30 seconds is a long time. Utterly ridiculous that this took two years to conclude.
