Radar guns are well known to be inaccurate. Hell I think it was Ferrari whom protested them during a F-1 race because they had a pit lane speed violation. I think Ferrari won too.
My mom actually worked at "Radiation" (which is now called Harris Semiconductor) back in the early 80's when they developed the radar gun. So she worked on it as it was being produced.
Even back then they knew they were not accurate but it was one of those deals that it was needed so it was used anyway. This was pre laser radar detectors anyway. I would imagine the newer laser detectors are much more accurate.
