If he was clocked speeding so far over the speed limit, why no citations? Is it because he’s a celebrity?

He wasn’t “clocked.” There’s probably a legal impediment against charging someone with a motor vehicle offense when there are no witnesses and no cop on the scene.

And there’s no real imperative to charge him when HE was the only victim and any property damage will be covered by his insurance company.

I’m not at all certain that citations can originate from automobile black box recorder data. Think about “real-time” use of such data and by whom, and ponder if that is what we want? Tech sometimes outpaces our grasp of the implications for freedoms and privacy.

Most traffic laws are written so that the officer must witness the infraction. I suspect that the 83 mph determination was made from the car’s blackbox and not from other physical evidence. I do not believe that any LEO had a radar gun on the vehicle.

Since no other party was injured, this might be one of those situations where the law has a “gap” and there is no authority to issue a citation.

Just speculation on my part.

His car telemetry is probably where the 85 came from, not being clocked by the cops.

Digital 5th amendment?
