Exactly Tom! They are not and never will be accurate enough to hold you accountable for a speeding charge!! So, the real question, do you want it to come to a point that speeding tickets are issued by mail, based on satellite? I do not!
Not true! If proper training and operation is obtained before operating the unit, this is a factor that can be avoided. Panning, scanning, batching, cosine, and all other effects can be avoided if properly operated. It's also easy to show that they were properly avoided.
Now, to the point! As a police officer, I do not want a satellite issuing citations! I will take my chances on a real person any day. If this Lt. wins this case, it will open the door to the satellites being accurate, which they are not!!!! Then, you will find technology being introduced for that satellite to clock your speeds and issue tickets via mail. I don't want this for law enforcement or as a citizen. I hope he looses for both reasons; his son needs a lesson, just like any other citizen and we don't need satellite traffic enforcement!!!!
First, I wouldn't give an insurance company any advantage whatsoever. They are in business to make money, not to cover your losses. Good drivers are paying way too much to cover those that are reckless. Have you noticed your auto rates? Mine have climbed $200 in the last two years! No tickets, no wrecks, no new drivers, no new cars. I am paying for hurricanes, roofing scams, and the like. Are the insurance companies doing anything to stop the scams? NO! So, they will not put anything on my vehicle and me have knowledge of it!!!
