I was pulled over by a cop using Stalker dual radar scanner.
The facters here are a range of about a 1/4 mile.
The cop was about 100 feet above me. Traveling 60+MPH the opposite direction.
Traffic conditions were light.

This is in New York State if this makes a difference.

the angle was not 45... it was closer to 30-35 initially... when the SUV cop pulled onto the median and stopped to do what looked like a reading his car was nose down at more then 45 degrees.

Guilty as charged. No twinkies for you. I recommend you slow down. Radar is only affected by angulation and then it is typically on your side, not mine. Go pay your fine.

Direction and Height only make a factor if the angle is dramatically off... 45 degrees or more. Also, if the RADAR or LYDAR is mobile then the angle is removed because the officer is moving it.

The greater the angle ( not elevation but angle of relection)
the greater the error ( but the bad part is that the error is in favor of the car, it will show you slower than actual because of the angle of delection.
So you would have been going faster ( slightly) than the officers radar showed.
