Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York

Re: Speeding ticket in NY

The police are not required to state the method of their estimation of the speed of the vehicle in question. An officer can testify that he based is charges on his independent estimation of the speed of your vehicle and it is valid under New York State law.

If you go to trial, the officer will usually testify as to which model of laser unit or radar unit they used if they used one.

BTW if you really want your best chance at winning here, you ought to hire a good lawyer for your case. Be sure to check him out on the net thru Findlaw and such and then interview him.

Good Luck.
