Can a CHP officer give you a speeding ticket without using the radar gun?

Answer 1

yes. Police have many different ways of determining speed other than radar.

Answer 2

Of course. A speeding ticket can be given for a number of reasons...laser, handheld radar, squad mounted radar, pacing the vehicle.

Every squad car is tested on the accuracy of its spedometer. If a squad is driving next to a nother vehicle, the officer can judge their speed by their own spedometer...and it holds up in court.

Answer 3

Radar, Lidar , Laser, Pacing and even the old point to point stop watch method is still legal. Most police cars will have a certified speedometer.

Answer 4

Yes, however it can be contested. Most people loose due to the fact they don't prepare.
Is he: experienced, in motion, what was the weather, were there any other vehicles in the vecinity, what vehicle was he in, etc, etc? Was he speed trapping (fishing) called entrapment? What a PO or DA say is irrevelant, they will convict w/o trial if they are allowed. The real question, were you speeding?

Answer 5

Yes, they use LIDAR or LASER to ascertain your speed or they just pace you. All are legal and all are legit. They require additional testimony at a hearing to establish their experience in pacing though. They also never lose.

Yup, they can use pacing or even eyeballing you, especially in inclement weather conditions.
