On November 9, 2010, the New Jersey Appellate Division in State v. John Green found that Stalker Lidar Device used by law enforcement to measure a motorist speed has not been established to be accurate or reliable. The consequence of the Court’s decision is that Municipal Courts through-out the State may not use the Stalker Lidar’s reading of a motorists speed as proof of speed!!! In other words, if a police officer issues a New Jersey motorist a speeding ticket based on the speed measuring device known as Stalker Lidar then the Municipal Court presiding over the speeding ticket must dismiss the speeding charge!
