How does a cop's radar on a moving motorcycle work?

The cop is on th motorbike radaring oncoming vehicle while driving at x speed. How is it possible that an oncoming motorcycle at you is reading an accurate measurement when they themselves are moving at x miles an hour towards an object moving towards them at x mph?

wild guess that the radar knows how fast it's host vehicle is going.

The same way it works on a moving car?

The cop points his radar gun at the moving motorcycle and it tells him how fast the motorcycle is going.

Such a zeller question.

You didn't do too well in Mathematics, did you?

Just take defensive driving.

Buy a good radar detector for the win.

Wait until you find out some radars can detect the fastest speed in a group of vehicles, it’s really going to blow your mind

It doesn't. It's a myth. Just like it's a myth that a fighter jet knows the airspeed and vector of another aircraft.

It's already been answered.
The radar knows how fast the cops motorcycle is going. Then using math it calculates the other vehicle's speed.
Do you want me to give you a solved example problem?

how?
wouldn't the path and angles of each vehicle come into play in this wild formula?
eta: and the only answer that suggested that said its a wild guess.
