But on the up side,
if you're stopped in England you don't have to produce a driver's license --
considered an invasion of your rights, or such.

Does the photo show who was driving the car? Can't say that I would be
too happy to be summoned to court when one of my kids (or wife) was
speeding.

I don't know if the technique is used in America but the speed cameras
in the UK are triggered by radar but produce evidence by taking two pictures
illuminated by two strobe pulses timed about 150ms apart. Stripes are
painted across the road spaced so that between flashes a vehicle will
traverse one stripe pitch for every 10mph.If the pictures show you have
traversed more than 7 stripe pitches (on motorways)you will receive copies
of these photos together with a summons to appear in court.

Hi All,
I apologize for being off subject but I was driving to
work and
noticed aCalifornia Highway Patrol officer on the opposite
of the
freeway an about 500 yards away. What brought him to my
attention was
what appeared to be a strobe light that was flashing. I have
been
thinking about and I was wondering if the new radar has some
ways of
taking pictures or if the strobe light really is the radar
source. Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim Freeman
