Traffic Laws
Village charged Defendant with driving over posted speed limit of 50 mph. Village police officer was sole witness at trial, and testified that before and after he stopped Defendant, he used 2 tuning forks, set for different speeds, to test radar device, and that radar clocked Defendant at 75 mph. Testing radar device with 2 or more tuning forks set to different speeds is sufficient, as tests corroborate each other and thus minimize likelihood of unreliable results. (HUTCHINSON and BIRKETT, concurring.)
