Running radar on a busy highway

Check out my night video - • Running Radar at Night
Using stationary radar on a busy highway. My intention was to show how pointless using a radar can be with 8 lanes of moving traffic, but I was proven wrong!

[@brad4792]

It's not speed that kills. It's people going wildly different speeds that causes accidents according to studies. That's why the rate of accidents on the Autobahn is really low even though they go so fast. Also, they use the left lane to pass, which many Americans can't seem to wrap their minds around.

You proved yourself right. I was going well over 100 MPH in 4 lane traffic, after my radar picked up the KA shot, I merged in to the right lane to hide in traffic. Sure enough the highway patrol came out and chased a car way in front of me and pulled him over which I assume was intended to be for me. Lmao when the cop pulls over an old el camino that probably can't even break 100. They must be giving cops all this equipment with little to no training.

Its been over 5 years sense my last ticket, I'm not complaining by any means. However I wouldn't mind seeing more enforcement of turn signals and other things that impede traffic and less speed enforcement. I feel the roads would be safer if some people would start using their signals and traffic flow would be more likely to remain constant if this was used more. Anyways I appreciate the videos and showing insight! & Thank you for your service.

[@Treyk901]

Doc G I agree. Also driving slow in the left lane or boxing lanes should be enforced. All that does is cause people to go crazy and do something stupid messing it all up for everyone involved.

[@huffindoobies3066]

Trey K yea going 45 in the left hand lane when the speed limits 70 is pretty dangerous. Someone coming up behind, going the speed limit often has to make some serious moves to get out of the way.

[@14arma]

My bad, never saw a notification to reply and somehow stumbled on this video again. But totally agree, Cant believe I neglected to mention that in my original post. Left lane should only be used for passing. I believe most places in the US that is the law, however it seems to be under enforced for as much as it happens.

[@jackthompson1382]

I’d also like to see law enforcement upholding their own laws and using their turn signals and not weaving in and out of traffic or using the breakdown lane in non emergencies. Goes both ways :)

[@pacovasda5955]

AJ N law enforcement would like very very much to not weave in and out of lanes but the only possible conceivable way to stop that is to not have people in all these different lanes to weave between. Law enforcement must travel faster than traffic or they are limited to only seeing the exact same people as they travel down the road. When you get your motorcycle license they push very hard for you to travel 5 miles an hour faster than traffic regardless of what speed traffic is traveling weather is traveling over the speed limit or exactly speed limit motorcycle should travel 5 miles an hour faster than traffic so it's not to remain in people's blind spots. I've been pulled over many many times for weeving of course never convicted because you simply go to court and explain that you're doing what you're supposed to do and you couldn't be weaving unless they were becoming unnecessary obstacles. This does not mean that you cannot be charged and convicted quite easily for such but my point is if you want the cops to not weave don't be in their way and that applies to any traffic. you don't want vehicles to weave around you don't be an obstacle for them to weave through. I agree, cops should use their turn signals and should be charged when they're not but as far as weaving, that's our fault not theirs. Slower traffic keep right. Keep right except to pass. Always travel faster than traffic to your right & always travel slower than traffic to your left. this is and always has been the law and we need to obey it And that's exactly why the new "Slowpoke" laws blame the obstacle not the speeder.

[@msahondaman]

Michael Scott has a very valid point about speeding vs. an actual crime with victims. Actually, an officer does have to make the best guess as to which of those cars was doing 83MPH. No radar unit can selectively identify a single vehicle in a group. I was once targeted as doing 70 in a 45, crossing a highway overpass within 3 seconds of leaving a green light from a standstill. The 1985 Honda commuter bike I was riding does not have anywhere near that kind of acceleration, but the traffic passing under the overpass was doing 70-75 MPH. After researching the radar model used against me, I disclosed it's limited capabilities, and its field of vision capabilities, and, along with testimony of the officer to confirm all of those facts, the charges were dismissed. The radar does not lie, but it does not "lock" onto a target. The "radar lock", is actually an additional display which can freeze and save any speed being displayed on the "active" speed window. It does not lock onto your vehicle to identify your vehicle in a group of other vehicles. In the presence of even 1 other automobile, a motorcycle radar profile is virtually non-existent. A compact car on the far side of a crowd of 6-8 other larger vehicles is very likely not going to register at all, let alone show a steady signal on radar. The radar field of vision is fairly wide, as is shown by the range and rapid fluctuation of speeds on the radar display. It was also picking up and displaying the speed of vehicles to the extreme right of the police cruiser, which the officer would be trained to ignore, as those vehicles were obviously slower being on the entrance ramp. There are several videos on KZbin that illustrate "interpretive errors" much better than I have done here. Perhaps once you have been falsely accused of a victim-less crime, and face the prospect of a hefty fine and double-rate insurance fees, you may want to rethink about the abuse of technology you don't understand.

[@badaramjoe1058]

[@007Kellam]

So, how is it you determine which car it is? Theres no way I could tell until you pointed it out

[@ThatTexanAlex]

If it in all radar systems, it redirected back to the computer or some crap

[@zachmondial2172]

007K whoever is faster

[@motoxguy7]

+007K. Its through the officers training that determines which car it is. I cant speak for others but when I got my Radar/Lidar cert many many years ago I had to sit and observe vehicles in traffic and (1) identify vehicles "travelling faster then the posted speed limit" (that's what the citation is for) and (2) identify the vehicles speed within 2-3 mph. This is done WITHOUT using a Radar/Lidar gun (an instructor sits there WITH the equipment and confirms the speed). This training goes on for multiple days and I had to be 95 percent accurate within 2-3 mph before receiving my cert. It depends what state you are in and "vehicle code" you are cited for (their are 3 that cover "speeding" where I was from) for speeding. Radar/Lidar is simply a tool used to "confirm" an officers observation of a vehicle speeding. All of my ticket synopsis read: "I OBSERVED a (color, make of vehicle) travelling (direction, location) faster then the posted speed limit of (xx mph). I then CONFIRMED this on (Radar or Lidar) and stopped the vehicle......" and so on. Bottom line is that its determined through the officers observation.

[@007Kellam]

motoxguy7 thats very interesting actually, thanks for the explanation! Btw, I too am a Moto X Fanboy :P

[@jdanon203]

So if I drop a ball or coin in court and ask you to estimate the speed to prove your competency you will get it right? Bet you won't come close. Try it some time. I really don't see how "my training" is a good enough defense to uphold a speeding infraction. How can you say you confirmed anything on radar which by definition is measuring everything in its field of view which using simple math will tell you how many cars are being radiated (measured)? No offense, but this sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors.

[@slaynprey]

Oʀʀɪɴ Bᴇsᴛᴇʀ I believe that technology such as that is likely available but you’re probably thinking of radar jammers. Those things will jam the radar and make it inadmissible, but that doesn’t matter because to become a chp you must be able to estimate someone’s speed within a few percent mph. Radar detectors aren’t illegal, im starting to think you might be assuming they are. The detectors are becoming obsolete because more and more cops know how to play the game or just have doplar. I think that’s what it’s called; new radar very difficult to detect long distance.

[@obs4281]

slayNprey Nah I’m not thinking of radar jammers. Police here in Australia have a device in their highway patrol cars that beep of they come in radius of a car that has a radar/laser detector in/on their car. I’m pretty sure that only in Western Australian you can use them here, other states, massive fine for having them in/on your car 👍

[@slaynprey]

Oʀʀɪɴ Bᴇsᴛᴇʀ oh wow that’s interesting, our radar detectors go off with multiple signal readings so most ppl here it beep because a trucker is using his cb radio or some signal in a Walmart 1000ft away sets it off. I say this because maybe that’s a loophole that allows us to have them in our cars. I honestly don’t think most people realize how they work because you have to know the code that radar guns come up as. Whenever my detector says “KA band” is when I slow down and laugh when I see a cop 1mi ahead who never turns his gun off.

Radar definitely isn't exact, but "guessing" isn't exactly the word for it. There's some basic science and training involved in determining which vehicle is the offending one. I'm not even a police officer and I can pace cars pretty effectively just by looking at them. It's all basic math, really.

I have a question - as I love radar, lidar and how all that stuff works. I noticed (I believe) that you have your radar unit with both "oncoming" and "away" activated (I presume this from the two opposite-facing arrows). If that is the case, how do you know - when you have vehicles approaching and driving away, which speed of the two is being shown in the target window. I mean, in this particular setup, you're angled in such a way - plus the barrier - that maybe you know that ALL vehicles being shown in the target window are moving away, but let's imagine if you were positioned with both oncoming and away lanes in your direct view. Thanks.

[@Bcr3106]

+Pusheen Rules Thats a great point. If I was sitting in the center, then I would be getting both sides of traffic. That makes it much more difficult - if not impossible - to visually approximate, hear, and see the RADAR correctly. I don't use my RADAR in this way because of this. We have a few units with directional capability, but that particular one does not.

[@Bgtrfvcde]

I’d like someone to articulate how they determine a vehicle is exceeding the speed limit by simply observing it. You can’t just say it is because it was going faster than the others unless you can also independently verify their speed. And how do you do it if there is only one vehicle? Just curious to see how this is described.

[@Quattro_Camacho]

this confuses me I wouldn't able to pick witch car was speeding

[@blardmann]

which

[@kylefafnis]

If you've never spent any time behind a radar unit it's understandable that you find it difficult to figure out which vehicle matches the speed readings. But once you've used the unit for a little bit it's really not that difficult.

[@greatgooglymoogly3153]

What about it gets easier

[@kylefafnis]

The audio allows you to hear the Doppler shift and identify vehicles. If you hear a decreasing tone the target the unit is receiving is slowing. If you hear a rising tone, the target is accelerating. If a vehicle passes by and you instantly hear a tone change, it's likely the vehicle that just came into the path of the antenna horn. It's difficult to explained, but once you use the equipment for a while, you start to notice matches between the audio signal, and the traffic you are seeing.

[@PrintMeLogo]

can someone help me please? I got pulled over in a country road while passing a car . I was driving behind the van who seemed to be texting and driving and his speed was going up and down, so I decided to pass him and while I was passing I saw a police car ahead of me coming in opposite direction, so I speed up to pass the car and go back to my lane then imidiately reduce my speed to the limit, but the on coming cop pulled me over for speeding. any hints I can use to fight my ticket and point? thank you

[@accobra62]

I was clocked at 83 mph in a 55 with a 1997 F-350 crew cab, 4x4, 8 foot box, 4 inch lift, diesel! I told the cop there is no way this tank could go that fast with 4:11 gears. He didn't believe me...

[@GaryCameron780]

If you've ever been pulled over and the cop asks, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Or "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Chances are he's verifying he has the right vehicle. The best answer is, "No sir. Why did you pull me over?" Or "How fast did you say I was going?" Be polite but don't admit guilt. :)

[@theJerkson]

***** Bad advice that never works. If he lets you off with a warning its because he felt like it, not because you fessed up and felt bad ONLY because you were caught. If you actually felt bad about it, you would have made sure you werent speeding in the first place. Never admit guilt. The onus is on them to prove you're guilty. You can try and say "yeah I was going 7mph over, sorry...I didnt realize" just like the last 10 people before you said. Even 7mph over is a ticketable offense.

[@onlylikenerd]

It's seriously not that hard... you look at the radar, you see the radar jumps up to a high number (speeding), you look up, see which car is going the fastest and you go get them! When you see how fast the cars are going it's easy to determine which cars are going slower than others.

[@gr8645]

onlylikenerd it's hard. if it wasn't for that arrow, I'd never know which car it was.

[@opie773]

Target acquisition and tracking history. You do enough of them, you don't need a radar to tell who is speeding and who is not. The radar is used to confirm the officers visual estimation by displaying the speed and the audible Doppler tone.

[@LinuxJedi]

thats why when ever im on the highway i try to hide behind the vehicle next to me works every time

[@jacknabstedt3222]

I think the major reasoning for it was as you could see, the car was slowing down as it got detected. Going from 84, down to 83, and his mannerisms showed he was slowing down to 84, meaning he was probably doing more than 85mph, which is why he got pulled over. If your doing a few miles per hour faster than the flow it’s not significant, but when your going 10 over the flow of traffic, odds are you will get pulled over. This is coming from a police officer.

[@RichieLT]

Very confusing I hope whoever is given this device to issue tickets is well trained on how to spot the exact vehicle speeding.

Please read my comment and your original post. Your original post says "Try that with my jammers...I win every time." That statement is referring to your laser jammers that you have on your car, which do not protect you from radar.

I can't stand HP, I respect city cops (to an extent) since they at least serve and protect. But to sit and waste tax dollars to harrass and extort the tax payers is just pathetic and immoral. The fuel you waste to sit and idle as you radar, the fuel you use to rapidly accelerate to catch the driver, the tires you consistently wear along with the clutches in the transmission, the oil and coolant you consume is just ridiculous (I can only imagine how redundant the maintenance intervals are). It's hypocritical to pull a guy doing 10-15 over while you do 20+ to catch em, meanwhile endangering the life of you, the perp, and everyone else as you/perp sit PARKED writing a ticket. Please tell me how this is safe and effective deterrent (its rhetorical) It infuriates me even more as a ND resident since the tickets are only $20 for anything less then 15 over. Like wtf is the point you consume half the revenue/extortion in just fuel and maintenance. Don't even get me started on tint citations. My point is, HP is the states way to bully the tax payers for more revenue (and very counterproductive in states like nd). It's wrong, and you know it.

[@randomvideosn0where]

Speeding is almost never the primary cause of an accident. Legitimate safety issues include following too closely, improper lane changes, distracted driving, impaired driving, failing to maintain lane. If it is for safety tell me why they tend to patrol country roads where people go fast (because it feels safe (because it is)) or the highway when it is clear and there is nobody to hit so you speed up?

[@randomvideosn0where]

***** The law is supposed to be there because people agree there is a problem, but with speeding there are many roads that over 80% of traffic is speeding, meaning that clearly people don't agree that there needs to be lower speed. These also tend to be the roads that police patrol. Also, why is it not ok to go whatever speed you want when there is no other car in sight then?

[@MysteryD]

Just curious what those "faster" and "slower" indicators are for

[@etsonos]

The key thing to remember here is the LEO has to articulate how he assessed your speed visually first. The radar is meant to verify their assessment. Your assessment can stand on its own as "to fast for conditions" or "reckless driving" if bad enough. The radar can not stand on it's own. You are using radar to pick out speeders and then you're trying to assess who the speeder is afterwards. As traffic is moving away from you and there are many vehicles it is very difficult to almost impossible to assess a vehicle speed visually. With this video I would have beat you in court because you are using radar improperly. You are sitting on the road letting the radar do the work. That is the complete opposite of the training you received and is lazy policing. Get out in traffic and visually observe traffic patterns to identify aggressive driving and distracted driving. Those are the real causes of auto wrecks so if your mission is to keep people safe prove it. If your mission is to generate revenue you're nailing it.

[@DragoMusivini]

With this piece of trash there is no way to tell which one was going 83.

[@snoopunit]

Love how the camera miraculously gets put out of view of the speedometer in the cop's car as soon as he pull out. The only message that sends to speeding motorists is that they were unaware enough to let the cops catch up. Pulling people over for speeding does literally nothing to stop people from doing it. The only people worried about getting pulled over are the people without the money to pay the fines or the ones that know they're doing something that shouldn't be done in a vehicle like drugs/alcohol/etc. The fact is, that motorist wasn't putting anyone else in harms way by doing 83. The rest of traffic was flowing between 65-75 and they weren't weaving in and out or doing anything inherently dangerous. The real problem here lies with the shitty training provided by driving schools and the police abusing their "power" to show everyone else how much of a badass they are.
