Ever hear of this speed detection system used by cops?

My original question was not if seatbelts are a good idea or not.
If you want to preach and then admonish those who don't wear a seatbelt, do yourself a favor and post a poll here and find out who doesn't wear seatbelts and then give those people your lecture about seatbelts.
Right now, this post is about Robic, a speed enforcement system used by the police. If you don't have valuable input on the subject(not seatbelts) then don't post here........please!!!

Ay, Ay, Cap'n.

To the original post - I would fight it. I dont see how they can get away with guestimating, and yes that is all it is is a guestimation, of your speed. Thats like writing you a ticket because they were following you and their speedo says xx for speed. Usually it doesnt hold up in court. If you can afford a good enough lawyer, you could probably beat it. If not, you are probably better off taking the ticket and then taking defensive driving. I dont know where you live, but in Texas, you can take it (defensive driving), and not ony remove the ticket, but get a discount on your insurance. Gotta love Texas laws. I would fight it because I am stubborn and dont feel that it is a legit way to clock someones speed, not because I think there is any way I would win. If it is "reliable" enough to be employed by the state, then I wish you the best of luck in the battle.
