Question

How can I find out if "visual estimation" of speed training is given to Pineville, NC police officers?

Answer 1

Got a ticket did we? Most Officers can testify as to a visual estimation of speed based on experience and use of a radar to verify the estimation. You get pretty good at estimating speed when you have done this for a number of years. Not sure they do actual training. It would be based more on experience I believe.

Answer 2

You can't....because there is no trainig on that.  It is aquired from years of working radar.  That more or less means the officer is rather experienced or confident.

Answer 3

Visual Estimation of speed is acquired by operating a radar over a period of time.

Most officers are able to make a very good estimate of a vehicles velocity which is then confirmed by the radar.

Simply stated - an officer must determine which car is traveling at the rate of speed his radar is indicating - every time he operates the radar unit he is using this skill - and most are very good at it.
