You can also formally request the last time that the laser was calibrated. If it is not within a certain timeframe, you may be in the clear...

I would agree with you in other places, but not there.

Actually, Dennis is correct. I was ticketed (several times) when I had a badge, a gun, and in a couple of cases, a uniform, for speeding when I was very young, and a federal police officer...

People say Texas sucks (which is why Mexico hasn't dis-lodged itself yet) but I think it's Va... But that's just me!

They explained where they were going, he said to keep it at the speed limmit. they took off again and were doing about 8-9 over and this time the trooper called his buddies and they pulled them all over and gave them all tickets.

OP. Go to Borders and buy "How to fight your speeding ticket in California" by Nolo Press.

I assume you have ALREADY subpoenaed all the records you will need- do not expect the officer to bring any.

remember, the officer is paid to go to court, but not paid to do the trial by declaration....

Personally, I want as little documentation as possible when fighting a speeding ticket. It's the burden of the prosecution to prove their case... all you have to do is bring up the possible issues in the hopes of getting it dismissed because the records and documents that prove the cops case aren't readily available or are not in court.

In the uk the laser machines have to be calibrated monthly and data recorded. if this proceedure isnt done and data recorded properly then the case is thrown out, as the police cannot prove that machine has been working accurately, not sure if the law is the same in the usa, must be, hope this helps and good luck.
