Hello!
So I live in Pennsylvania, and frequent the interstates and turnpike for work. Not only are State Troopers the only agency in PA allowed to utilize radar, it seems like we impose some of the most restrictions as to how radar may be utilized. (Such as no moving radar, you must be stationary; unit must be held outside the vehicle; and I believe they are only allowed to “tag” vehicles that are coming towards the radar gun and are not permitted to use radar on a vehicle moving AWAY.)
My question is this, given all of our restrictions on proper radar use, is it permissible/advisable for them to bounce the radar gun off of their driver side mirror to get vehicles coming up behind them? It just seems like there is such a large margin for error for quite a few reasons. I just watched PSP pull a driver in front of me over that was utilizing this exact tactic and I have a dash cam. I feel like I should be a Good Samaritan and submit this to the local barracks if it’s not allowed to try and get this thrown out?
I’d appreciate any answers, input, and corrections if I am wrong on anything! Thanks!!
