Radio Detection And Ranging

41
Q

What is the “Absolute Speed Limit Law”?

A

Is the Posted speed limit and nothing more

42
Q

What are the Basic Principle of Doppler RADAR

A

Produces velocity data about objects at a distance. Does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object’s motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

43
Q

What is a RADAR Beam?

A

Transmits a radar signal at the speed of light, cone shaped, and is infinite unless reflected/absorbed or refracted by an object such as metal, gunmetal or concrete.

44
Q

What is the “scanning effect” that messes with the RADAR’s accuracy?

A

When the antenna is suddenly “swung” or scanned against a parked car, brick wall or any other large stationary object to achieve a speed reading. Nothing is moving except the antenna.

45
Q

What is the “Panning effect” that messes with the RADAR’s accuracy?

A

(Only with a 2pc radar unit) Antenna is pointed at the counting unit, bc of electronic feedback, you’ll hear an inconsistent squeal.

46
Q

What is the “Power surge” that messes with the RADAR’s accuracy?

A

Might be a speed displayed when the radar unit is first turned on.

47
Q

What is the “Mirror effect” that messes with the RADAR’s accuracy?

A

A reverse copy of the speed display screen. When a hand held radar has a switch that allows the radar to be viewed from the rear view mirror.

48
Q

What is the “Shadow effect” that messes with the RADAR’s accuracy?

A

“Locks onto” a large moving vehicle such as a semi

49
Q

What is the “Batching” that messes with the RADAR’s accuracy?

A

By lag time, moving radar, from quick acceleration or deceleration. Can be avoided by cruise control or a maintained speed.

50
Q

What came from “Honeycutt vs. Commonwealth of Kentucky”

A

It is sufficient an operator has knowledge and training as enables him properly to set up, test and read the radar;

Tuning forks is an accurate method of determining radar accuracy;

Operator not required to understand scientific principles of radar or be able to explain internal workings;

The Officer’s estimate of excessive speed from visual observation, when confirmed by Radar and the offending vehicle is out front by itself, nearest the radar is sufficient to identify the vehicle if the officer’s visual observations support the radar.

51
Q

What are the six areas/questions that will ensure that a report is complete?

A

Who, what, when, where, how, why
