No, he was not going that fast. There were 4 of us in the convoy.
You can't attack the reading or the officer, as all they have to do is produce certificates for the operator training and certification of accuracy for the device.
Despite the fact that you can still get a wrong reading, you just can't get anywhere in the court by using that reasoning.
This guy was targeted at 527 metres. Now, that's over 1/2 a kilometre (approximately 11 power poles in built up areas). They flew a LIDAR expert up from Victoria, and he himself admitted that the LIDAR beam diameter is wider and higher than the car at that distance.
The police office either lied or gave erroneous depictions of the days events like (no other traffic around), duh!! 4 Zs in convoy!! Plus the last day of a public holiday, the roads were packed. After giving evidence that no other cars were around, they played the tape of the day, and the magistrate says, "correct me if I'm wrong but that does sound like other cars are around".
Anyway, read through the thread on our site it'll all be there for your enjoyment.
In furtherance to your question regarding was he speeding, I can assure you that I would not have gone to all the trouble and expense (3 days off work) for a speedster.
Also, I doubt I'd get any support from our member-base if I was to publicly support illegal activities on our roads + I am in a position of responsibility within our organisation, so I have that aspect to consider also.
