Many motorists nabbed for speeding by a laser gun, instead of radar, are seeing their tickets thrown out at Chicago's traffic court because of a legal issue that the city's law department has been unable to overcome.
Within the last year judges in Cook County Traffic Court in Chicago determined that speeds captured by lidar were not admissible because the devices had not been proven scientifically reliable in an Illinois court, said Jenny Hoyle, spokeswoman for the law department, which prosecutes most speeding tickets in the city.
Because as everyone knows, the laws of physics cease to function with the bounds of Illinois. As do the laws regarding other well known endeavors such as voter registration, pay-to-play politicking and just about every single method of pouring concrete.
