Can cops hide to give tickets?
In short, yes, police officers are allowed to hide to catch speeders using a radar gun. They can even hide out in a private driveway too as long as they’ve been granted permission; though even if they weren’t granted that permission, the ticket stands. Even so these traffic tickets can still be fought and dismissed.
Can cops see your speed behind them?
