plane or helicopter.. they just time you with something as primitive as a stopwatch between two different points. its really simple, i saw a clip on tv about it.

then radio the troopers your speed.. boom..

its really easy, my watch has the thing on it. you push the button when u pass one mile marker, then press it again when u pass the next one. if you think about it if you take 1 minute to do a mile your doing 60 mph. if you do a mile in 30 seconds thats 120mph. its not that hard to figure out how fast someone is going if u can time them.

Its VERY innacurate. They are doing it over a 1.4 mile marked on the road. If they are off by a tenth of a second it can add some speed to you.

I think that is why the cop kept asking if I knew how fast I was going.
