WOW..I did not even think about that variable.
Truth be told. I will make the statement of the officer not being visible. He knows his car was not visible for 500 FT. If he disputes, I will pay the fine and be on my way.

That's a strange statute, especially since it doesn't apply to the state police... and folks here have said that New York laws are weird.

It's to keep the LEO from hiding behind a billboard/hill/curve. I'm willing to bet that OP's defense is going to fail miserably, no matter how he's reading it.
Your comment is addressed in the first part of the law, my argument is the last part of the law:
No stationary speed detection device shall be employed by county, municipal, college, or university law enforcement officers where the vehicle from which the device is operated is obstructed from the view of approaching motorists..your comment or is otherwise not visible for a distance of at least 500 feet...my argument.

Well, sure, but why would it be okay for the state police to be "sneaky"? That's almost as bad as Pennsylvania where only the state police are permitted to use radar.

You'd have to ask the Georgia legislature. I know why the LEO of towns under 17000 in Bama can't pull over speeders on the freeway; a state senator got ticked because he got a speeding ticket from a local on a freeway. He 'fixed' that via legislation.
