At least NY doesn't have airplanes. They have an airplane in the sky and they clock you from one line to the next, they then radio down to a trooper to pull you over. Of course radar detectors are no help, most of the time, waze doesn't alert you till it's too late.

They use helicopters in rural AZ... No radar until they clock you manually between marks on the highway... Then radar for evidence... Very common.

Geez they have a plane up here in Ontario , not sure where they focus their enforcement but I know a 50km over the speed limit gets your car seized at the roadside pending court date

In AZ legally 10mph over limit is "criminal speeding" and can have the same results plus jail... In practice though, most LEOs don't apply that unless you're really going crazy fast for conditions. They have that discretion here.

We have similar practices here too, we can get away with 25km over the 100km posted speed limit ...sometimes even 30 over is not noticed

LOL.... Yes a posted limit in AZ usually translates into all traffic moving 10-20 mph over that limit... And I admit that I like to drive fast when the road is open. Most surface streets here have 50-55mph traffic...

lol i Wouldnt be surprised with California, I heard it was illegal to tune your car in that state

Dxlnt1 · August 07, 2015, 12:29:26 AM

Why is everyone picking on California? But yes we do have airplanes AND helicopters that enforce speed. Typically on open highways and not within city limits.

Speed becomes a felony 30 mph over posted limit. Normally officers cite you at less than that to avoid the hassle if you are just "cruising". But if driving erratically or racing then thats another story.

We have aircraft enforced speeding and it really pisses me off.....not really where I want my tax money going to....I do inspections on aircraft when they dissaemble components according to the aircrafts maintenance schedule and it ridiculously expensive....

It's really time for the 80 percentile system for speed determination

It's actually florida. The lovely Florida Highway Patrol.
