John....if you go to court, when it is your turn to cross examine the officer, take out your trusty 100' tape measure and hand the end to him. Walk to the far end of the courtroom and ask him how far away you are. If you are 50' and he says 60', he is 10' off in 50' which equates to 30' off in 150'. Hold the tape where you stopped and show it to the judge and the officer and request the charge be dropped. Odds are in your favor he will not get the exact distance and whatever he does guess need only be extrapolated to 150'. Even 10' in 150' would seem enough error to warrant a dismissal.
