here's the 411,
i was rolling back from jambo coming down a hill in a 60 zone, a cop pulls out in front of me and pulls me over, he also pulls over the bird on my right.
he comes over to me first and does the formalities {do u know speed, what speed were u doing ect}
he shows me the gun and says: "this is not your speed {shows 83} this is her speed, i had to cancel your speed to get a fix on her speed. Can i have your licence.
i thought that he was gonna give me a warning and such, but i had a suspicion that he was gonne book me, so i got out the trusty digi cam and started snapping away.
he came over and hands me a ticket,
me:why are you giving me a ticket
pig: cause u were speeding,
me: you cant prove that i was, how can u possibly book me
pig: look, this is the law; i do not have to prove to you that you were breaking the law at all, i dont have to show you the gun its just a police policy.
me; 
pig: i trust that you will drive home safely
me; FUCK YOU PIG, BIG BURNOUT ENSUED {then i stopped dreaming} 
me now: i'm taking them to court
I dont know who say today tonight about the bloke who was apparently caught speeding and took them to court, the police officer said that at 250m away the "laser" was 1m wide
he got HER at 370.5m away, so he had to apparently get me, see the speed, cancel it, then get her and that was only then 370m away, at 60kph u r travelling at 16.7meters per second.
u work it out
and remember that these things cannot be held PERFECTLY still, so a margin of error for movement is involved too
think i have a chance 
update: and the pigs aren't allowed to pull over more than one person at a time, my sister got caught doing 160 down the M1 racing a R33 GTST and cop pulled them both over and had to let her go with a "stern" warning
i got $250 and 4 points
