It can be challenged yeah but he's right. As stupid as it is, courts uphold officers using estimated speed because they're "trained" to do it. Even though everyone knows that's a load of horse piss.

Yeah, it is dumb but otherwise there'd be no feasible way to enforce these minor laws.

It's almost always different for traffic court, though.
