Busting airspace question

How does ATC prove that someone has entered Bravo airspace?
Radar

While true, radar doesn't seem up to the task for a clip. The three
radar tracks of the Cirrus crash over the East River in NY differ by
enough to convince me that radar could easily indict somebody who was
actually outside the airspace.

Are you talking about the tracks you and many of us saw via online services
or honest to God FAA radar tracks?

I'm talking about the tracks I saw on the web. I presume these are FAA
radar tracks. They (allegedly) came from the Newark tower, the LGA
tower and the JFK tower, or something like that - three separate nearby
radar facilities.

The actual FAA NTAP readout will have a point plotted every six seconds
with the aircrafts lat/lon.

That's what I believe I saw. There were three such sets of points.

That's what I thought you were saying. Those are VERY crude interpitations
of FAA radar plots.

How would they be interpreted less crudely? Is there some signal
processing that goes on, that was not presented to the media?

Go visit an ATC facility.
