What should be done if a radar or Lidar unit shows irregular readings?

If a radar or Lidar unit displays irregular readings, recalibrating the unit and checking for malfunctions is essential. Irregular readings can indicate that the unit may not be functioning properly, which might compromise the accuracy of speed detection. By recalibrating, you ensure that the device is set up correctly according to manufacturer specifications and is prepared for precise operation. Additionally, checking for malfunctions allows for the identification of any mechanical issues or external factors that might be impacting the device's performance.

Addressing these issues proactively helps maintain the integrity and reliability of speed enforcement, ensuring that law enforcement can uphold traffic regulations effectively. This approach not only ensures accurate readings but also protects against potential legal challenges that may arise from incorrect data.
