DOH! speeding ticket, question about radar detection

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

DOH! enjoying a newly layed out stretchs of asphalt on a back road of
suunnyvale, and cruising at 50 (zoned at 35) I turn the last curve
and cross path with a sheriff driving opposite direction... he lights up and
pulls me over... ticket issued for 50mph in a 35 zone.
I deserve it but I have a technical question.

since when a moving vehicule mounted with a radar detector system can clock
an incoming car on the road? I was under the impression they had to be
immobile to ensure that the reading is correctly read on a speeding
vehicule.

damn now I will have to take defensive driving course to get out of this
one.. hhehehehe
