372	372	11 being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
373	373	12 or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and

379	379	18 In the case of an automated speed enforcement system

382	382	21 inspection of recorded images, video or other
383	383	22 documentation, including documentation of the speed limit

399	399	2 the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated,
400	400	3 certified speed equipment device based upon the speed
401	401	4 equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an

404	404	7 all determinations by a technician that a violation
405	405	8 occurred be reviewed and approved by a law enforcement
406	406	9 officer or retired law enforcement officer of the
407	407	10 municipality issuing the violation or by an additional
408	408	11 fully trained reviewing technician who is not employed by

410	410	13 initial determination. Routine and independent calibration
411	411	14 of the speeds produced by automated speed enforcement
412	412	15 systems and equipment shall be conducted annually by a
413	413	16 qualified technician. Speeds produced by an automated
414	414	17 speed enforcement system shall be compared with speeds
415	415	18 produced by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or
416	416	19 lidar equipment shall undergo an internal validation test
417	417	20 no less frequently than once each week. Qualified
418	418	21 technicians shall test loop-based equipment no less

420	420	23 checked for accuracy by a qualified technician when the

422	422	25 persist, or when deemed necessary by a reviewing

446	446	13 The technician performing the calibration and testing of
447	447	14 the automated speed enforcement equipment shall be trained
448	448	15 and certified in the use of equipment for speed
449	449	16 enforcement purposes. Training on the speed enforcement
450	450	17 equipment may be conducted by law enforcement, civilian,
451	451	18 or manufacturer's personnel and if applicable may be
452	452	19 equivalent to the equipment use and operations training
