LIDAR Speed Enforcement Coming to PA
Guys, looks like PA is adding the provision to use LIDAR for the PSP
http://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS/...r=1179&pn=1594 This Bill is as of Nov 30 2007 and the first time LIDAR is specifically mentioned. It does not look like it was approved yet. Keep your eye open for this one |

Actually this law does not allow locals to use Radar or LIDAR it would still be restricted to the PSP.
Now this law will allow a pilot program to allow locals to use Radar which will take affect after June of 08 http://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS/...r=2069&pn=2904 |

Ops a mistake on my part, same legislation one is the Senate bill and the other is House Bill. except the House bill is pilot program
But your right it will allow local to use Radar and now LIDAR. However, this is the first time PA specifically states that the police must be trained. Just another thing to get a ticket tossed if the officer fails to bring in his training recorders. Anyway, this is the very first time they are going to add LIDAR to the mix. I think LIDAR is the bigger threat since it has lots of potential for error plus the officer can manipulate the gun to cause a higher speed reading, just like they can do with VASCAR but hitting the button to quickly. |

PA has had LIDAR forever. I got pulled over by it back in the early 90's.
