SW OH | I would fight it, especially if he used radar or laser to determine your speed. I was ticketed for 55 in a 25 when I was going no more than 30. I got out of that speeding ticket by going to court and asked 3 simple things at the trial. 1: when was the radar gun used last certified? (Has to be done every year in Ohio) Cop didn't know and prosecutor did not have any paperwork to back it up. 2: Do you have any documentation showing the officer has been properly trained to use a radar gun. The cop said he was but had no proof. 3: Did the cop perform the required preshift test on the radar gun using the 2 officially calibrated tuning forks? He answered no. The judge said not guilty and I was free to go. He then proceeded to rip the cop a new one for not doing his job correctly and wasting the courts time. I would think the same testing and training would be required for all methods of speed detection.
