Defendant appealed the decision of the trial magistrate sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-14-2 (prima facie limits). Following State v. Sprague, 322 A.2d 36, 36 (R.I. 1974), the tribunal held that an officer must be trained to use a radar or laser device and the device must have been calibrated within a reasonable time. Here, the Trooper testified that he had been trained in the use of a laser device at the Academy and that his laser device had been calibrated on the day the citation was issued. Moreover, the Trooper testified that no cars were between the laser and the front bumper of defendant’s vehicle. Accordingly, the Appeals Panel affirmed the decision of the trial court sustaining the violation against the defendant.
