an Caught Speeding At Mach 3

A Belgian motorist has been sent a speeding ticket for travelling
at 2,100 mph.

The ticket claimed he'd been caught doing Mach 3 in his Mini in a
Brussels city suburb.

Police have apologized for the mistake, and have blamed a faulty
radar.

They said human error was to blame for sending out the ticket,
even though it was clear the man's car couldn't have been
travelling at three times the speed of sound.

Belgian newspaper La Derniere Heure said the alleged speeding
incident happened in December, but only came to light when the
ticket was sent out this month.

Prosecutors asked to follow up the unpaid find said: "We called
the local police to find out what height the plane caught
speeding along the Boulevard Lambermont was flying at."

After the call, police apologised to the motorist, and promised
to make sure the radar was repaired.

It wasn't a motorcycle, amigo. It was a Mini. Somehow that's even funnier.

Hi,
Anyone besides me think the mini might have had a radar/laser scrambler?

Scrambles All Radar Bands (X, K, Ka SuperWide, Instant-On, Pulse, POP)
Scrambles Instant-On Radar
Scrambles All Lidar Guns (LTI 20-20, Pro-Laser, Laser-Lyte, Stalker)

I wonder?

with all the techology I wonder why the radar are not gps driven. More accurate. Here they did a test and pointed the radar to a mango tree and he was coming at 5 MPH. SO the cops adjust the unit with some leeway. But how much ? any way I am a sailor so slow speed is more normal for me
