Nobody said the officer's estimate is unimpeachable, or iron-clad. It simply meets the intial burden of proof for a prima facie case. If you, as a defendant, have better evidence to the contrary, you'll probably beat him.

In my opinion, you were speeding. No I wasn't.

Now what?

You'll probably lose.

But how is that any different from this:

"I had you on radar at 15 MPH over the limit."

"You're wrong."

???

The only difference is radar vs. estimate. The officer's testimony is still involved, as is yours. If he's a liar/jerk then he will be with or without a radar.

Like I said, this really isn't much of a change, if any.
