Radar ruling unlikely to curb Illinois speed enforcement yet
Illinois police officials say the Florida court ruling on radar accuracy will not immediately cut radar use. Sgt. Andy Muzzarelli notes hand held, helicopter, aircraft and squad car radars remain common, with only limited doubt until the US Supreme Court rule. He expects some drivers will fight tickets, while most speeders will pay fines. Carbondale Police Chief Edward Hogan says Illinois lacks radar case law, so systems will be tested in court and judges may consider the Florida ruling as a precedent.
