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.

I don't know in regards to mandatory court dates.....Because of my record, I might just get a fine, and it won't go on my record, I should have stated, at the maximum, a fine....

Just gonna go to court and see what happens, state my case "He was going the other way in the other lane, and happened to get me on radar, and when asked to see radar gun, it was 'already cleared'.

At the very least, I get a conviction and my insurance goes up a little bit, or I get nothing, and it takes an hour or two, and I take the rest of the day off....
