> you would have to realize, it is not feasible for a car to be in location 1 thenbe in location 2 many miles away in a few minutes. You say that but just last week there was a post here about how LPR claimed that the same car was in two locations in a timeframe that would have required the car to have been traveling non-stop at 160mph for 20 minutes through suburban streets, and even then authorities and proponents were defending it as plausible, or that the LPR was right, but there might just have been timing issues, or, or, or.

i think i saw that post, i think we're both describing what happens when someone copies plates and doppelgangs people to throw off the surveillance. i think in this case the LPR was right, the same plate number was in two different places, the assumption of how many plates were involved needs review. 160mph for 20min through suburban streets, that kind of attracts attention, there would be a lot of complaints and witnesses if that happened

  It's also very likely not physically possible for that car, and unless they're referring to straight-line stroads, many suburban routes can't sustain an average of 160mph with any current car.

    I have driven that fast twice, and, yeah, you're right. There's no way, the roads in the United States, and I'm sure wherever that is, are not good enough to go 160 for any length of time. I'm hard-pressed to think of a road I could do a quarter-mile or half-mile on!

      Right? I’ve driven at 120mph a couple of times on a road that where it was legal and well maintained in a car that could do so easily enough (a new Audi RS 5), even then that was work. On a suburban street, even arterial, no chance. And even then, even my car is electronically limited at 155 unless you’re at a track because if nothing else, that’s the highest street tire rating!
