Good question...I dunno the answer to this. The City Police do have access to US registries, but I'm not sure if they would deem it worth their efforts to mail you a ticket to your registered address in the USA.

If you didn't pay your ticket, and assumming they cared enough, they would eventually put out a local warrant for your arrest. That's fine if you're NEVER coming back to Calgary (or surrounding area), but it would be in your file...I think this is how it works.

It's how things worked when I was with the Park Wardens in regards to other infractions, so I would think this would be similar.

are you sure they use radar from airplanes? I dont think that is possible (and to be accurate).

because the closer to perpendicular the cop/radar is to your car, the faster it shows you are going (or was it slower?)

but from an airplane, the angle is quite great, making radar invalid for that application.

they use a stopwatch, and white marks every 1/4 mile on highways to get your speed from an airplane.

but correct me if im wrong, but airplanes can NOT use radar
As far as I know Menace is right. Here, whenever they use a chopper to catch speeders, they have to use the "stopwatch" method and catch you between the lines. Then, the chopper radios the info to the cops ahead and they then pull you over.

But maybe there's some super hi-tech cam that I don't know about??
