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

What happens here

Beyond calibration and angle, other factors can affect a radar gun's reading. Older radar guns often pick up the largest object in their cone of detection. If there were other vehicles, especially larger ones like semi-trucks, around you, the radar gun might have measured their speed. You should ask the officer in court about the surrounding vehicles at the time of the stop. Additionally, if your ticket was based on the officer's 'visual estimation' of your speed or 'pacing' (where they follow you to match your speed), you can question their training and certification for visual estimation, or the last calibration date of their patrol vehicle's speedometer. Many police officers may not have recent training or be able to provide calibration records for the specific vehicle used.

Goal: Create reasonable doubt by questioning surrounding conditions or the officer's specific speed detection method

So now on to tip number four when it comes to beating your speeding ticket And that's what the radar gun and there's a few types of radar guns out there And there's actually a laser radar gun that wasn't very common when I was a police officer And you could actually look through like a gun site and you could actually pinpoint one vehicle in a group of vehicles And you can get the actual speed of that actual vehicle But I actually use a radar that was more commonly used and it would actually send out a large cone A cone that would actually detect oncoming objects and it would always pick up the largest object that was coming to it So one thing you want to know is or ask in court is are you sure officer that my vehicle was the largest object that was actually approaching your vehicle Or could your radar gun have been picking up a semi behind you or a larger truck on the side of you at that point in time So you definitely want to ask in question the officer about surrounding vehicles and who is surrounding you at that point in time And is it possible that that radar gun could have been picking up some other larger object And if that officer can't say 100% in court without a doubt that it was picking up you That is reasonable doubt that maybe it was picking up another vehicle traveling away from him or traveling to him Because it isn't actually tell you on the radar gun is just giving you a speed of an object that's moving away from you or towards you So that is another way to present reasonable doubt in front of the court to get that ticket dismissed So one of your ticket was actually based on an officer's visual estimation of your speed and not actually a radar gun which is actually possible So when I was a police officer I actually went through a course that actually gave me the ability to visually estimate vehicle speeds and write a ticket based on visual estimation So if there was a ticket or you received a ticket that was based on visual estimation you can always take it the court and actually ask the officer specifically what type of training did he actually have to give him that ability to do visual estimations And then you want to actually ask him how long ago that training was and what type of certification he got in that training And if he can't present any type of certification or present the fact that he went through training to do visual estimations Maybe that in itself is going to give you reasonable doubt or give the judge reasonable doubt to…
