2) There's also no reason that two MPs can't be situated on shore using two measured points on the opposite shore. Just as in radar, any error there would be fully in the offenders favor.
One stopwatch: it needn't be any more "high-tech" than that!  |
Yeah, good luck with that... Do you honestly think it is that easy? It is completely not practical in a real life situation.
Obviously you are much smarter than the system in place if you think it can be implemented that easy. I am really not trying to criticize the capabilities of the MP but your methods are a bit too scientific on paper to be used in a real life situation. They need hard data that is proven electronically to be able to make tickets stand up in court. Otherwise they are wasting taxpayers as well as the courts time.
