AIRBEAR.AERO IN THE NEWS
The California Highway Patrol has eyes for speeders where most people wouldn’t think to look. That direction is up.
“Often times, people don’t even know we are up here,” CHP Flight Officer Troy Marks said. “We cover 13 counties north and south of Sacramento.”
The plane’s supplied by Air Bear Aero are equipped with an onboard camera and GPS system that allows officers to record, check and verify the speed of vehicles multiple times. Cruising at about 4000 feet, CHP’s sophisticated plane can see it all. It’s also equipped with a night vision camera that can zoom into a vehicle from four miles away.
Speeders soon find in court that video proof makes it very difficult to talk your way out of a ticket.
