Wilson“Although the underlying principles of laser technology may be the same from one device to another, generally judicial notice as to the reliability of a speed-measuring device is device specific. * * * Therefore, expert testimony is necessary, 'whether it be a new device or an upgrade of an existing device, before the court may take judicial notice of that particular device in future proceedings.'”
