“According to the municipality’s official Facebook post, the radar systems are tightly regulated and cannot be manipulated.”

It’s nice to know that municipal governments are honest and would never resort to illegalities or shenanigans. For proof, just look at Dolton, Illinois.

At least it was not a Texas Mourning Dove tripping the cameras @113kph.

It’s always frustrating going to the EU and having to deal with their ridiculously slow speed limits. You think NYC and D.C. 25mph limits are bad and yes they radar photo enforce in both cities. Try 30 kph...that’s 18 freedom units my cars don’t idle that slow, you would be riding the brakes the whole time. At least in the EU they still have stick shifts so you can just hold a lower gear at higher rpm.

Beware the Ides of April.

The duck saw the "30" sign and thought it was miles per hour. Easy mistake to make.

“Though light-hearted in nature, the case is also a reminder of the accuracy of modern speed detection technology,“

Hopefully it’s gotten better back in the 70s a radar detection company posted as an advertisement a picture of an “80 mile an hour tree”.

It’s easy to get the bird off of any speeding offense. I am sure that the law in this town doesn’t specify “air speed,” it just says “speed.“ Therefore the law is unclear, and is arbitrarily and capriciously enforced. Additionally, it is quite likely that planes speeding at a greater altitude (and, likely, an and, likely, a far greater speed ) above the town have not been issued citations, so we have a disperate enforcement of the law here.
