apparently in america he got pulled over and the cop said that they saw him speeding with a ******* satellite.

what the ****.
Satellite... I find that hard to believe. But sometimes they have aircraft flying around that will record your speed and have a ground unit pull you over.

That is why you see those white strips across the highway. They are calculating your speed from point to point if they have an aircraft patroling that area and like mustang said the ground unit will pull you over.

But what people dont understand is a radar can not tell one on coming car from another. If two cars are coming at it, one is speeding and the other is not it has to guess which car is breaking the law. Even cops will tell you this when they are driving around and there radar goes off to a speeder they have no idea which car is speeding. Radar wave spread out as the move farther away. So also the greater the distance between the gun and the cars the wider field you are going to get reflected back. So yes I think it takes a person there to decide and judge which car is breaking the law and which car is not. But I would much rather have my V1 detector and not worry about it.
