How does CHP measure your speed on I-5 north of Stockton?
I was traveling down I-5, had actually just got on the freeway, and was going 75 in the left hand lane when I was pulled over for reportedly doing 95. The officer said the plane clocked me at 95, does anyone know how the plane works? It was extremely windy that day and I cant find any visible lines on google earth/maps. I was pulled over 2.5 miles after getting on the freeway. Any help on beating the ticket?

plead not guilty and go to court/ask the testifying po how about the plane/ maybe he wont show/cant remember/how he calibrates radar etc any unusual traffic patterns that day why not the guy in front of you and on and on

There are white lines exactly one mile apart painted on the shoulder of the road. The aircraft will follow you on your right rear side and clock how long it takes you to travel the measured mile. Then mathematically they convert the time to miles per hour. A patrol car on the ground will be called to stop and cite you. This method is very accurate, and the courts accept this method of speed control. The ONLY way to beat it is if the officer does not appear in court, which with the CHP is EXTREMELY rare. If you haven't been to "Traffic School" in the past 18 months this would be the safest/best way to resolve this matter.
