Court question

[Nineonesix]

If you go to court is there some way you can ask for a record of the radar gun that "shot" you?

different agencies have different standards of protocol. You have every right to ask, but don't be surprised if they tell you no.

Short answer- Probably
The burden of proving a case rests with the state. Most states have pretty much the same "foundation" requirements. In order to introduce-legally- the speed from radar we have to show a number of "certified" documents here. One of which is record showing that radar unit has been inspected within the past year and is accurate. I would have to check your state and see if that is a requirement. That is the benefit of getting a lawyer who specializes in traffic cases...he/she will know. I have seen some lawyers who don't have a clue about traffic and don't ask the right questions...

Well the ticket doesnt really warrant a lawyer. I just planned on asking two things. One beings the records on the gun, and two which traffic school the court recommends.
