4 Hacks To Beat A Speeding Ticket in court. Get Your Tickets Cops give you Dismissed.

What happens here

The 'angle of deflection' or 'cosine effect error' is a critical factor in radar gun accuracy. A radar gun provides a 100% accurate speed reading only if the target vehicle is moving directly towards it. If the police officer is positioned at an angle to the traffic (e.g., on the side of the road), the radar gun will measure a speed lower than the actual speed. The officer is supposed to measure this angle and perform a calculation to get the true speed. In court, you should ask the officer what the angle of deflection was when they clocked your speed. If they cannot provide this information or the necessary calculation, it introduces reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the ticket.

Goal: Introduce reasonable doubt by questioning the angle of deflection of the radar gun

So here's tip number three when it comes to getting your speeding ticket dismissed And this is getting right back to radar guns if you're actually caught on a radar gun In a radar gun there's one thing that's key about a radar gun or radar device that's detecting your speed And that is the angle of the flexion And when a police officer is sitting on the side of the road and reading your speed using a radar gun He's not actually directly in front of you for a radar gun to actually be 100% accurate The object has to be coming or traveling directly at the gun And typically an officer is going to be sitting on the side of the road And there's an angle that that radar gun or the device is sitting at And to actually actually read the speed of the vehicle or the oncoming traffic coming to the radar gun And that is what we call the angle of deflection And you actually have to have that measurement of what your angle is And there's a calculation as a police officer that you use once you know that angle of deflection And you get your speed reading and you got to go through that calculation and write that down And then that will give you the true speed What is actually on the radar gun is not the true speed until you calculate in the angle of deflection And I'll tell you when I was a police officer there was in one case Where I ever actually got out of my vehicle from where my vehicle was And actually measured where I was actually shooting my radar gun to get that angle of deflection Now now there are police officers out there that do it and do that calculation So give them a proper reading but that is one simple way There's a very high chance that the officer couldn't present in court the angle of deflection You were at that he'd only present that the reading of the radar gun So once you ask what the angle of deflection is and he doesn't know it That's going to create some type of reasonable doubt that your speed wasn't the actual speed that was on the radar gun So reasonable doubt is a simple way of how to get your speeding ticket actually dismissed So bring that up in court, ask the officer what was your angle of deflection when you actually caught me on the radar gun And see if you can answer it. I'm probably guessing you probably won't So now on to tip number four when it comes to beating your speeding ticket
