is it ok for a couple to pull a u-turn across four lanes of traffic (including tow oncoming) to pull someone over? and is there any discrepency between your actual speed and reported speed when caught by a moving cop (aka a cop driving in the opposite direction)

To clarify, you are asking if it is ok for the police to make a u-turn to pull over someone?
The short answer is, yes.

Your second question, is if there is a discrepancy between actual and reported speeds by a patrolman who was moving when they verified your speed, right?

If so, and the speed was captured by radar in the opposite direction, then again the answer is your speed can be verified while moving and in the opposite direction.

Laser is not used while moving and you can't pace an oncoming vehicle, only estimate (read: guess) the speed.

Does this help?

What (code) were you charged with (exactly)

dunno excatly, it was 80 in a 45 on the gw parkway

that hurts.

What was the hurry?

no hurry just unlucky its like how all the parkway cope are...all they ever do is jump over medians or flip bitches into oncoming traffic

the cop was driving towards me and then pulled a u to pull me over

Visual estimate followed by verification by radar is probably why the u-turn was executed.

Visual, if good, can be within +/- 3mph of reality. The radar is to use in court.

Hope this helps

there's stationary radar in P71's

______________________________________________________

Is that a question, or a statement?

Radar can be either stationary or moving. It can be handheld or mounted.

What was the question?

sorry i was wondering if there was stationary radar in the P71's it was a question but i missed typing the question marks
