Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeIn OK I've seen the state trooper planes a few times. Usually they stick to the interstates but I have seen one flying low and slow over the 2 lane county road to my home.
Roads are laid out here in 1 mile increments and the guys in the plane put a stopwatch on someone they think is speeding and time them between increments. The math is done and they radio ahead for a ground unit to hopefully catch them.
I believe highways in some states have paint mark increments on them for use by troopers in aircraft.

Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeSeen those signs a lot. Never experienced it first hand though.
I think in the planes they use VASCAR..Or some similar device these days.

Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeI have been pulled over twice for speeding, once he just gave me a warning and the other time I forgot to pay it (yea, I was speeding) the other time I was told I would get a notice by mail. It never showed up (over 30 years ago.

Off Topic Disagree Agree LikeMinnesota used to do this from time to time but were forced to cut back on their planes and just use them for official business now mostly. Still I have noticed new white painted blocks on some of the freeways that are used from the air so who knows?
