    You ever see those “Speed limit enforced by aircraft” signs? That’s the guy you gotta worry about.

      That’s what “©” means. In most states you are by natural law not allowed to be faster than the speed of light

      I never actually understood those. Do they actually have, like… a drone? Is it snapping a photo? How’s it all work?

        So you’ll occasionally see two white lines perpendicular to the road at a set internal. A helicopter, drone, or plane can time when a car passes both of these lines and can calculate the average speed of the car.

        This info is then relayed to a police car on the ground who then pulls over the driver.

          Why is that better than the police officer who was going to pull them over just using a speed gun?

            shrugs

            Less likely to be noticed by drivers or alerts like on Waze. Probably a bit more costly though if they’re using helicopters or planes instead of drones.

              It seems like if the purpose was stealth then they wouldn’t have a sign announcing it.

        I drive through areas like this all the time for years. I have never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket from this.
