You're also not trained & certified to provide visual estimations of speed to the court. Part of radar/laser training is visually estimating a vehicle's speed multiple times, within 5mph of their actual speed, in order to be able to testify in court that a vehicle was traveling in excess of the posted speed limit per your visual estimation.
Well, they were the ones that asked me... I figured it must have meant something to them or else they wouldn't have acted like they cared.
