RADAR has a limited distance, as Woodsy has pointed out. A boat going 130mph would have to go directly AT a MARKED Marine Patrol boat to a close distance before turning. Ya Right!

So are you surprised when reported speeds were low? The study was DESIGNED to fail. If you didn't think it favored your position you would agree.
