Isn't there some sort of proof they do have? I was sleeping on a long distance trip in the back seat and awoke to a state trooper talking to the driver. My friend said he knew he wasn't speeding and asked for a print out or something like that (it was many years ago) and the trooper ended up letting us go.
It was in Georgia though, so maybe state laws differ? No clue. Good luck with it.

I hate tickets, if you fight them the cops are crooked and in with the judge and you lose and if you don't fight them your ins goes up and you gotta pay the damn fine. So you're hosed either way.

Some cops are qualified to estimate a speeding vehicles rate of speed. However, no cop can estimate a motorcyles rate of speed and write them a ticket because motorcycles look like they are going much faster than they really are.
I learned this is my motorcycle endorsement class. I live in florida, maybe its different in your state, maybe its not.

the COP dose not have to show you the GUN NORE dose he have to show the judge .. only thing they have to prove in court is that it works fine and the cop knwo show to use it correctly.. best thing to do is come in and the cop will be there he will talk to you and i bet he will DOWN GRADE The tickit for you himself before u go infront of the judge or u will speak the the prossecuter and he will down grade it some.. either way thats the out come good luck

I'm in the middle of the same sort of argument. I was heading to NC (still Va) and got caught doing 75 in a 55 while I was passing 3 tractor trailers that were passing each other and as soon as I got past them and went around a turn he got me. He was a pretty laidback guy. I asked him I could see the gun but he said there wasn't anything on it, it had all ready cleared. He just said I didn't have go to court just pay the fine... that's okay... I'll see him in court, maybe if I'm lucky he won't be there.

just go to court, chances are he wont have the evidence ( I believe its a print out of the speed or something like that) and if you are polite and respectful they might not eliminate the ticket, but they will usually reduce it, usually to about half the fine. I cant speak from experience as ive never gotten a ticket but many of my buddies with f-bodys, mustangs, etc have and they always challenge it no matter what. Hopefully the guy wont show and you will get off, but either way its worth a shot. Fight the Power haha!
