A Wisconsin State Trooper used a laser gun at 1,540 feet from a bridge to clock the alleged vehicle at 86 in a 65 on the roadway below.
If you were defending the alleged motorist, what defensive strategies would you use to combat the laser in court?

so was this "alleged" speeder going 86 mph on hwy43 by the mukwonago exit?....duh! you don't speed through there. the troopers hang out through that area from Big Bend all the way to East Troy, why? because that is where everyone tries to "see how fast they can go" and this is best place to nail the "alleged" speeders. I can't even count how many times I have been passed by cars going so dang fast it looks like I am in neutral and I am going the speed limit. suck it up and pay the fine! what is it now? $400 bucks and 3 points? chalk it us as a hard lesson learned.

If the trooper was using LIDAR, good luck. I highly doubt the trooper "clocked" your speed. He more than likely "checked" your speed, especially at that distance. If I was was the alleged motorist, I would consider getting a diversion or just paying the fine.

The 'alleged' vehicle? you mean there is room to dispute that it was in fact a vehicle?
The 'alleged' motorist....you mean to say that that persom just might have been a pedestrian?
You really like that 'alleged' word don't you?
You can't beat the charge that you were speeding. You can ask the DA to plead you down to a lower charge. Best bet....get an alleged lawyer to help you.

when the trooper stoped you .......did he offer to show you the recorded speed?.........it,s usually locked on a screen with the time & date........if this doesnt correspond with the exact time he allegedly clocked your speed........then he may have clocked someone else earlier , locked the setting , & left it locked untill you fell into his trap, then showed it to you claiming that this was your speed.........this is an old trooper trick......this way they don,t have to wait for actual speeder,s to fill their quota........just stop one after another,write them up, so they can spend the rest of their shift at a donut shop drinking coffee,eating donut,s............if he refused to show you the recorded speed......then simply tell the judge of this........otherwise the only other defence you may have would be misidentification of the vehicle in question......providing you were not the only vehicle on the road at that time..................hope this help,s.
