Like he said...we use a visual estimate to validate the reading on the Laser/Radar unit. Testifying that the estimated speed was consistant with the Laser readings adds legal weight to the resulting charge....otherwise someone could say that the reading was the result of some sort of error and you did nothing to verify it. I would imagine the JP and the defendant would want to know why you did not use the Laser and just estimated instead. The Laser is accurrate to within 1 kmh while visual estimations can vary plus or minus an approximate speed.
