What aspect of the RADAR Reliability Act was amended in October 2005?

  1. Certification requirements

  2. Operational procedures

  3. Effective date

  4. Admissibility of speed-measuring instruments

The correct answer is: Admissibility of speed-measuring instruments

The amendment to the RADAR Reliability Act in October 2005 specifically addressed the admissibility of speed-measuring instruments in judicial proceedings. This change was significant because it established clearer standards and guidelines for how and when the results from RADAR and LIDAR devices could be introduced as evidence in traffic cases. By ensuring that speed-measuring instruments met certain reliability criteria, the amendment aimed to enhance the accuracy and fairness of speed enforcement practices in North Carolina, ultimately supporting judicial integrity. The other choices reflect important aspects of the RADAR Reliability Act, but they do not pertain to the amendment made in 2005. Certification requirements, operational procedures, and the effective date of the law would be areas that could evolve separately from the standards governing admissibility, making this amendment particularly crucial for legal proceedings involving speed measurement.
