Peter, I suggest you check out the National Motorists Association web site at www.motorists.com. In case you have not heard of this organization before they are a National Motorists rights group. They were largely responsible for the repeal of the National 55 mph speed limit. They have lots of resources available for fighting tickets including a package that you can rent that is geared specifically towards fighting speeding tickets. They also have lots of resources about radar guns and their requirements for calibration. From what I recall each officer is supposed to have a tuning fork for checking the gun that is supposed to be used before each shift. They also have a list of experts in various fields that you can contact for help, including experts on radar and radar guns. I have been a member for several years and I believe it is a very worthwhile organization. They should be able to provide everything you need to fight the ticket.

I am not sure if I was speeding or not - I do not have my eyes on the speedometer all the time! I asked the policewoman to show me the calibration certificate on her speed measuring gun. She did not know what I was talking about! I inspected the gun and did not see any stickers on it. I plan to go to court and attempt to convince the judge that the speeding gun was not calibrated and/or the gun's measurement data may have been affected by emissions from another device. Can anyone in the calibration business send me professional opinions on the methods and reasons for calibrating speeding guns? What is the best way to present this case in court?
