I have a question about Michigan's Stature Laws.
I was told that an officer must follow a car for at least 1 mile after using a radar gun to obtain their speed, before they can pull them over for a speeding ticket. Is this true?

stature:
1: natural height (as of a person) in an upright position
2 : quality or status gained by growth, development, or achievement

Which all boils down to whether he was wearing his hat.

In PA , if I want to follow ( pace ) someone for speeding using my speedometer....I must follow them for 3/10 th of a mile. And at speed, it doesn't take long to get a good pace on them. There is no other following requirement that I am aware of anywhere. Would kind of defeat the whole purpose of running radar.

In Oregon, the reading on the radar gun is all you need. No one has to follow you, you can be stopped down the road by another officer and written by him.
Even pacing, there is no set rule, just common sense applies.Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine
