Default Re: got pulled over for speeding

Its not like its a big deal for the officer to walk up to the car with the lidar gun and show you the speed when he asks for your license/registration.

And now they pass a law saying that they don't have to show you the speed from a lidar gun, even though they are handheld units. Makes you wonder how many times the police claim to get you catch when they didn't.

Like my case, he refused to let me see the radar unit. Its not like we were on the side of 66 at 5pm. I got stopped on a side street where he claimed he caught me going 65 in a 35 on radar. I know that I was not going more than 45 or 50, not to mention my radar detector never went off. Later on when we were talking, I was outside of my and was able to peek inside his cruiser and saw that the radar unit was never turned on.
