Three Ways A
Prosecutor Can Prove a
SPEEDING TICKET
in New York
In this video, Attorney Mike Cyr explains the THREE different ways the government can prove SPEEDING against you in New York.
There are three ways a police officer can prove a speeding ticket under New York law.
1. Visual estimation.
The officer can just SAY he saw you going "x" mph based on his visual estimation compared to other cars or by counting seconds between two stationary objects, etc. This is a skill they will say they learned in the police academy. It is admissible.
2. Pacing your Car.
The officer could drive behind you for a short period of time, look at his or her own speedometer, and then pull you over. By looking at their own speedometer, they will say you were going "x" mph because I WAS DRIVING THE SAME SPEED BEHIND YOU.
3. Radar.
The State Police in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York use the Stalker Dual Radar gun. This device needs to be calibrated properly and used properly to be accurate. Many Speeding cases have Radar in New York --and it is possible to challenge the accuracy of the machine at a trial.
