I just got my first speeding ticket in 20yrs. here in vegas in a work zone by a state cop that paced or guessed the speed. Back on the east coast most courts won't accept a paced speed reading.

End result 5mph over plead down to a non moving violation $250 fine, so it just goes to show you that even if the cop doesn't clock you with any radar or laser, they can always fall back on the old guestimate and nail you any way, if the state court allows a pace reading.
