Laser measuring devices in use again
Due to a possible error, laser measuring devices of a certain type were temporarily no longer used by the NRW police. This was purely a precautionary measure. After intensive testing, the devices can now be used again.

The LZPD NRW was in close contact with the responsible federal and state authorities. According to this, there are no indications that inadmissible measured value deviations occur when the corresponding laser measuring device is used correctly.

At the same time, the manufacturer has published revised instructions for use for this handheld laser measuring device in cooperation with the responsible authorities and declared them binding. According to this, the laser measuring device may only be used with a tripod and magnifying optics. As the affected police authorities were already equipped with corresponding tripods and magnifying lenses, there is no need for further action.

The 115 TruSpeed LTI 20-20 laser measuring devices in 25 district police authorities and two higher state authorities can therefore be used again with immediate effect. The fine offices have been informed accordingly so that the processing of the temporarily suspended proceedings can continue.
