Very interesting! Think I might start running my tracks as well. I've been burned by officers lying a couple times too many! Good luck on using that as evidence and keep us posted!

 

Please let us know how this turns out. Always interested in seeing how our technology can be used to combat the
police "gang" that exists. I've seen a couple folks using gopro video cameras on their bikes just for racing, I think they would be great for everyday riding. One up front and back, record every time you're out. Never know when it will help.

Good Luck

 

Too bad it is a felony to record police without their permission.


How'd did this end up panning out?

Interested in doing this myself...

 

I'd like to know how it's a felony. Happens all the time. Hell, it's saved quite a few people from over-ambitious LEO's. Please cite the statute proving your statement.

 

Check the current events. I was poking fun at the dick bags trying to give that guy 75 years.

 

Havent gone to court yet. Playing all angles at once. I sent in the ticket on the last day possible. I then petitioned the court for a full statement of the facts against me. Still havent recieved it. If I don't get it by the court date (which I also havent recieved) then I'm gonna have it postponed. If I get it less than a week before the court date I'll probably try to postpone it also.

Still trying to figure out a way to delete that last little "venting of steam" on 83 LOL. Otherwise I won't even try to use the MyTracks info for obvious reasons.

 

How did you get it to show your speed on the map?

 

Got the data I wanted out and figured out how to eliminate the rest after about 3 hours of web searching I have a useable map that shows my top speed up until the point I got pulled over was 54.something MPH. Shows my speed at the time of ticket fairly clearly as about 43 MPH. We'll see if the judge allows it but I should be okay now.

I doubt very highly that without sufficient motivation I could figure that shit out again. My Tracks should modify the app to make it much easier to access specific waypoints in the KML file.



ALSO I learned that under ideal conditions LIDAR throws a beam 3 feet wide at 1000 feet. The officer was 982 feet away when he shot the LIDAR and it was foggy as fuck. Since my bike is <3 feet wide and my buddy was following close he could have been piocked up behind me easily. ALSO typially the LIDAR is aimed at the front plate of a vehicle, which a motorcycle does not have.

 

I exported the KML file into a website I found via google and it allowed me to extract more info like speed and graph that by color.


BTW court date is 10-19-2011.

 

Court tomorrow, wish me luck. I printed out the pic of my speed graph minus the rediculous section. We'll see how it goes.
