    Default Am I going to get a ticket in the mail?

    Driving along the freeway (the Eastern Freeway, 4 car lengths wide, a few cars on the road)

    Let's just say I was going, about 120. (YES YES, I know, Bad me, all that crap but really, is 120 that unsafe by International Standards)

    Well, I was in the wrong .. so don't go giving me a lecture I already know, but I'd prefer to speed on a freeway than down a suburban street.

    There were coppers on top of the Chandler Highway Bridge, with a radar gun.
    A few kms up the road, there was a motorcycle that pulled a car over (I'm guessing, the coppers would clock the speeding car, radio the motorbike and the motorbike would issue the ticket)

    My question is, (Say, perchance they clocked onto me) Can Radar gun's take photos ? Or can the police take your speed... and write down the details of the car ? ... ie: Will I get a ticket in the mail, assuming they had the radar on my car yet I wasn't pulled over...

    If you get a knock on your door and there are 2 coppers there with a warrant then you're fried. But if they didn't pull you over on the spot they won't send you a ticket in the mail. If they think it is worth pursuing then they will issue a warrant based on the speed recorded on the radar, yes, they can do that, but considering you were only 10kmh over they probably won't.
