The collective "we."

You have a radar gun. You clock a car. The gun says 30mph. You clock the next car. The gun says 31mph. In the latter case you write a ticket.

You're free to argue the vagaries of measurement systems in court. Good luck.

Won't need much luck, the first time this shows up in court it will be thrown out and officers told to stop writing false tickets.

There's a reason cops don't ticket anything less than 10mpg over - the tools they use are not just that accurate. It's a fake number.
