Illinois court approves lidar detectors
February 11, 2010
Illinois: The Cook County Traffic Court has decided a recent ruling by the Illinois Appellate Court on lidar detectors will apply there as well. The Cook County court had previously been throwing out cases involving lidar speeding tickets on the grounds that had not been subjected to a Frye hearing in order to prove whether or not they were scientifically reliable. On Wednesday, February 10, however, it was decided that the Appellate Court's ruling was evidence enough.[1]
