Drone Speed Trap on 75

[FisherWilcoxTaggart Survivor]

Beware. FHP now resorting to drone technology to catch speeders (and to generate $$). Near Ocala today.

How will Waze handle reporting drones?

Just watched a youtube video that says they are un-contestable speeding tickets.

So do they still use those lines on the highway like they do/did with aircraft?

Everything is contestable. Ask O.J. Simpson. 😀

This is the first I've heard of them in FL. Did you actually see the drones?

I received a speeding ticket by "aircraft" in Madison County on I-10 in 2007 or 2008. They definitely exist. The drone captures your speed, alerts the FHP a few miles down the road and they pick you off 1 by 1.

I was victim to that same speed trap.

Since when is 75 near Ocala open enough to go full speed? Seems like every time I go through it's stop and go

Aircraft time your car between marks on the highway. I think the drone may use radar. I don't think a laser would work from a high angle like that.

So would a regular radar detector pick that up?

I don't see why not.

This is how we handle drones up here.

Everything I've come across regarding LE drone use in Florida prohibits the use for speed enforcement. At least so far.

With GPS and the tech available today for target acquisition, I doubt lidar nor radar would be needed.
