586	586	9 being operated in violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of
587	587	10 this Code or a similar local ordinance. If the technician
588	588	11 determines that the vehicle speed was not determined by a
589	589	12 calibrated, certified speed equipment device based upon
590	590	13 the speed equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was
591	591	14 an emergency vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The
