Speeding remains a significant threat to road safety, putting lives and communities at risk. Law enforcement officers play a crucial role in curbing this danger by apprehending offending drivers. However, issuing a ticket is just the beginning of the legal process. Securing a conviction requires solid evidence that stands up in court. All too often, prosecutions of all types of crimes, including speeding and other dangerous traffic violations, are thwarted due to a lack of, or lost evidence.
Reliable Evidence is Key in Securing Speeding Convictions
To secure a conviction for speeding, officers need more than their own account of observing a vehicle traveling at an excessive speed. Courts may require concrete evidence, including RADAR or LIDAR data, video footage, or verification of tracking history. Without well-documented proof, cases can be dismissed, leading to wasted time, effort, and failure to keep the streets safe for the community
How Kustom Signals’ Equipment Helps Secures Crucial Data
Kustom Signals provides state-of-the-art law enforcement tools that ensure speed data is well-documented and supported by indisputable evidence. Here’s how their equipment aids in securing convictions:
ProLog with ProLaser 4 and LaserCam 4 Comprehensive Video and Data Evidence
The ProLog Back Office System, combined with the ProLaser 4 and LaserCam 4 lidar systems, allows officers to manage and present speed enforcement data effectively. ProLog enables seamless organization and retrieval of lidar evidence, ensuring that officers can provide the necessary documentation to support their citations. Video evidence captured with the LaserCam 4 further strengthens cases by visually verifying the speed violation and vehicle identity.
Eagle 3
The Eagle 3 in-car radar system logs detailed data about speeding violations. This system records the target speed, direction, and location of the vehicle, with a date and time stamp, ensuring that officers can provide precise evidence in court.
Kustom Signals’ Eagle 3 in-car radar incorporates an Advanced Fork Test feature designed to ensure the device’s accuracy. This test can be performed using the electronic tuning fork integrated into the remote control or traditional mechanical tuning forks. The Advanced Fork Test guides the operator through a comprehensive procedure, testing both front and rear antennas in various modes, and provides clear pass or fail messages upon completion.
These fork tests are automatically logged, storing the data in its internal memory. In legal proceedings, especially during the discovery phase, records of these fork tests are often requested to verify the radar’s accuracy at the time of a specific incident. The Eagle 3’s automated logging of fork tests ensures that such data is readily available, providing documented proof that the radar system was functioning correctly.
