What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA

My girlfriend received an ENRADD ticket while traveling down a very steep hill. She was on the brake constantly to stay at or close to the speed limit, but the officer said she was moving at 64 MPH which is not even close to being accurate.

I recall being told in the past by several individuals that PA law does not allow speed measurements performed on steep downgrades.

Also, how often does the ENRADD unit need to be calibrated to be legal?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

There is no law in PA that says they can not measure speed on a hills, so that will not help.

Next all speed measuring equipment in PA must be Cal every 60 days and the cal date and cal station should have been recorded on the ticket.

If your GF got caught in the last few weeks it was part of PA's Smooth Operator campaign where they trying to ticket as many people as they can.

If you search on this board and radardetector.net about ENRADD you will learn what is need to contest a ENRADD ticket.

There are a number of things that can be in your favor, however, if ENRADD is used properly it is by far the most accurate method police can use. But it does have its short comings and possibility for errors as well as the police making mistakes.
