couple things....first, in traffic court nobody cares about proof, the police officer is considered a professional witness in the eyes of the law and his word will carry more weight than yours.
second....don't they give officers a mandatory day in court in illinois like most other states? they get paid to be there so there isn't any chance of a no-show.
third...it's pristine, and how will a clean record get you a maximum fine?
as I understand it, as long as the radar gun is calibrated before each shift (and they document that it has been) they don't have to show you sh*t....I've seen my fair share of traffic court.
