Hi there,
There is an issue with role permissions that is being worked on at the moment.

Radar Speed checks at night?
Comments

Its not that bad based on firmware updates etc undertaken this summer / fall to US models
Well considering the ONLY guns used here are the LTI Ultralyte & occasionally LTI Marksman with PTs ranging from 300 - 996 ft I'd pass. Hell the laser mask is well cheaper and did just as well!
On another note it is actually a Jammer and has no defence so I wouldn't fancy my chances. These LED jammers are very weak against the LTI guns especially without Veil for example.0 -
Not illegal to own but illegal to use.
Sounds stupid cos it is stupid
The legislation on these things was changed recently, they are now illegal to own aswell.
I was in court recently (family law dont ask
) and a guy who pulled in at a Garda checkpoint (he pulled in, he was not pulled in by the guards) to report another car for dangerous driving, the car in question had already been stopped at the checkpoint. While talking to the plod they noticed that he had a radar dectector in the car and they did him for it. It was not a speed check so they would have no knowledge of whether he was using it or not.
His solicitor made much of the good samaritan issue and said that " my client has never been in court before for a motoring offence and was trying to do his duty etc etc" at which point the judge remarked "we can now see why" (the whole court LOL'd) he got a hefty fine, cant remember the exact amount but it was over a grand. so beware!!!0 -

I presume it was phrased to protect AGS in the course of their duties in case they got sued or whatever.What worried me most when I first saw it is that the legislation specifically states this. If it was an oversight, I can understand that, but I've no idea how someone thought it was a good idea to specifically say that, "The device does not need to be working properly to secure a conviction".
Nonsense. You are making it up as you go along!The Gardaí are obliged under EU law to notify the actual position that they will use mobile traps in.
Cya in court as in you'll be done for speeding or Cya in court because you are taking on the system?Laser guns cannot be used and night and if I was targeted with one.. Cya in Court boys
I don't know where you sourced this but its irrelevant. The law as you have been told explicitly states that the equipment is presumed to be in perfect working order. It could be falling apart and legally you don't have a leg to stand on!2) Calibration? They don't show the certs for calibration? According to the suppliers of the Garda guns the calibration should be conducted "daily""XXXSUPPLIERXXX recommends that this test be performed at regular intervals (daily). We also suggest
a test area be permanently installed in a convenient location. The test area must establish a
permanent known distance between a target and a shooting mark."
Wasn't there a guy (university professor?) who challenged the law there on this basis and lost?eringobragh wrote: »WRONG AGAIN! Cosine error will always go in the drivers favour!

I'm not sure,but the angle will always give a lower reading, trust me cosine error DOES go in the drivers favour every time and I've used an LTI
.
Maybe your think of Dr Michael Clarke chalenged the accuracy of the Laser with a method called the "slip effect" that could get higher readings from a flick of the wrist and also the use of the LIDAR gun in areas with reflective signing i.e road works etc0 -

are they in operation yet ?
and does the reflective surface of the registration plate reflect infra red ?
Yes, In some cases better than normal light. The M50 Toll works that way. As regards IR Illumination, it would take a fair wattage of light to successfully capture a plate number IMO.I don't know where you sourced this but its irrelevant

Would the Cosine not be a huge factor there? In the Drivers favour of course. The tripod is facing down, so if the the distance to the plate was say 150m, and the bridge was 30 ish M, surely, my Triganometry (12 degree's in this case), thats a big difference that gets bigger as your get further away?
EDIT: If I ain't mistaken, E02 is a Jam code.0 -

I presume it would be a factor but the angle wouldn't be too severe and obviously they wouldn't be aiming further away as they need to snap the reg plate 12 degree would be about 3 - 6k off the actual reading so the majority of speeders would be nabbed.
EDIT: If I ain't mistaken, E02 is a Jam code.
Nope not a JAM code but a measurement error. Its a common error on those guns, in this case its detecting an obstruction or the target has moved out of range
