Under California law, law enforcement cannot use a speed trap to issue citations for people going over the posted speed limit. If the speed of a driver was captured through the use of a speed trap, the captured speed cannot be used as evidence in court.
While law enforcement cannot use speed traps in California, the use of radar devices is legal to show that a driver has violated California's speeding laws. In People v. Beamer, the Superior Court of California ruled that radar devices can determine the actual speed of a vehicle under surveillance.
