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

What happens here

This secret involves challenging the calibration of the radar gun used to measure your speed. Just like any electronic device, radar guns need to be calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy. Police officers typically use tuning forks at the start of their shift to calibrate their radar guns. In court, you should ask the officer if they calibrated their radar gun on the day of the incident, and if it was done properly. If the radar gun was not properly calibrated or the officer cannot confirm it, this creates reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the speed reading.

Goal: Create reasonable doubt about the accuracy of the radar gun's reading

Tools and materials

  • Radar Gun Bushnell — The device used by the officer to measure vehicle speed
  • Tuning Forks — Used by officers to calibrate radar guns to an exact speed

So here's secret number two and that is fighting a ticket if you're caught on radar And I'm going to discuss a little bit about the radar guns and how you can actually be the speeding ticket if you're caught on radar And it's actually quite simple And to start off the day a police officer has could have multiple radar guns in the vehicles And just like any type of electronic device, they have to be calibrated or they could be off And a speeding ticket is based on this calibration of this device And every single day you have to calibrate the device to make sure it's working properly Because there's a lot of factors that could actually make this device not work properly So when I started my day, we used tuning forks to actually calibrate the radar And we would tap these tuning forks together and those tuning forks would, when you presented them in front of the radar gun It would give you a speed and those tuning forks are actually calibrated to an exact speed And if your radar gun didn't give you the speed that the tuning forks were then the radar guns not calibrated properly So every single day you had to calibrate your radar guns And I'll tell you as a police officer when I worked in law enforcement, probably 90% of the time I didn't actually tune my radar guns before I actually went out into the field and worked So if I was ever asked in court if I calibrated my radar guns before I went out, I would have actually actually had to say If I was an honest police officer which I was, I would say no, I didn't calibrate them And so that in itself would create reasonable doubt whether you're speeding or not And reasonable doubt is one simple way to get your speeding ticket dismissed So here's tip number three when it comes to getting your speeding ticket dismissed
