Last week I
wrote a post about my personal experience with police radar in the three states
I travel through every day: New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania.
I had no
idea that there was a website that provides this information for every single
state. This site even breaks down police
radar use on a county basis, so you can find out what specific band (X, K, Ka,
Laser) you need to watch out for as you drive locally.
I made the
claim in my post last week that the Pennsylvania State Police only use K-Band
radar. This is no longer true. According to RDFGS, Ka-Band is now used on
the Blue Route (476) near the exit for Route 76.
I also found
out that Pennsylvania may soon be using Laser to detect speed, however, this
will not go into effect until later this year.
According the Pennsylvania
Bulletin, Volume 49:
“Permanent Regulation for LIDAR for State Police and Automated Enforcement Systems, 67 Pa. Code Chapter 205, Fall 2019, as Proposed. The Department will be promulgating a regulation to define proper testing and calibration of LIDAR System to be used by state police and automated enforcement systems.”
You got a traffic ticket, you’re pissed off, and you want to fight it - but you don’t even know where to begin.
If that opening line describes your current state of mind, then my blog is written with you in mind.
I should state right up front that I am not an attorney, so please do not consider anything that I write to be legal advice in any sense of the term.
I am just a regular citizen of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who got pissed off after my son received an unfair stop sign ticket in September of 2018.
I spent several hours searching the internet for suggestions about how to fight it and then came to the realization that most of what is available out there is essentially useless information.
But there was a silver lining in all of this wasted effort. My frustration at not being able to find any useful resources on the internet inspired me to create the website Stop-Sign-Ticket.com. I can now offer fellow citizens hope for some kind of justice in the courtroom – no matter how much they think the odds are against them.
My son was able to beat his ticket based on the information that I discovered and I am confident that it will be useful to you also.
