You ever see those “Speed limit enforced by aircraft” signs? That’s the guy you gotta worry about.
That's what "©" means. In most states you are by natural law not allowed to be faster than the speed of light
I don't know of any where it's allowed but I didn't want to generalize since generalizations are always wrong. Always.
Physics is full of woke librul propaganda like “conservation of energy”.
In my state we obey the laws of alchemy.
Some states haven't adopted the most recent version of the laws of physics.
That version's kinda glitchy, TBH. It's better they don't update until it's been patched a bit more.
... of matter
That damned big governement and their rules smh

Most of the times, yes
I never actually understood those. Do they actually have, like… a drone? Is it snapping a photo? How’s it all work?
So you'll occasionally see two white lines perpendicular to the road at a set internal. A helicopter, drone, or plane can time when a car passes both of these lines and can calculate the average speed of the car.
This info is then relayed to a police car on the ground who then pulls over the driver.
Why is that better than the police officer who was going to pull them over just using a speed gun?
shrugs
Less likely to be noticed by drivers or alerts like on Waze. Probably a bit more costly though if they're using helicopters or planes instead of drones.
It seems like if the purpose was stealth then they wouldn’t have a sign announcing it.
Deterrence. You never know when they might be monitoring you above, so watch your speed.
I drive through areas like this all the time for years. I have never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket from this.
