How do you call a radar gun or a 7-11 video camera or a fingerprint
matching computer or an EZ-Pass that says someone was speeding?

Answer: You don't. You call the technician who runs the device, or the
person who developed the device, and try to establish that the facts
are true. Defense can challenge, but don't be surprised if they're
unsuccessful.
