California vs. Connelley: The Verdict
Looks like Jim's word and my physics counted for nothing as Jim copped a large fine and a suspension of his licence, with the arresting officer claiming through his teeth that he'd tracked Jim for over a mile (that's 34 seconds, kids) at 106mph.
Jim is right to feel hard done by - he did a bit more investigating into the details of the officer's evidence, and the performance of CHP patrol cars, and sent me some more numbers. With a bit more calculating I estimated that he was probably doing about 80mph: still over the speed limit, but not enough to warrant the loss of his licence. There is no court of appeal.
