I'm actually happy to say it wasn't me. He's actually the owner of Braden Tuning shop in Suffolk County. They are a Ferrari Tuning Shop.

Aerial Speeed Traps are very common in the US, Marc. If you're ever driving down the highway and you see a painted line on the road, perpendicular to the direction you're traveling, followed by another line a few hundred yards further, that's a good sign that this is being monitored by planes. The way they determine your speed is by timing you from one line to the next.

everyone should start driving with their sunroof's open from now on and occasionally check the sky for police
or install a very small fish-eye camera on top of your roof connect it to your LCD in dash and monitor the sky. Its fucking Star-Wars man. Its slowly coming! Soon we'll be flying instead of driving.

He might end up with a felony... anything above 100 might give the judge reason to do that; however it wasn't like it was in the middle of the day in traffic..
