Advice for fighting it: -Don't say that it's your first ticket like that's a reason you shouldn't pay. -Dress professionally to fight it. Believe me, this is key. -Was it cloudy? Raining? I seem to remember last night drizzling a bit. If so, print out a weather report and right before presenting it, ask the officer if rain or fog would reduce the accuracy of his radar. It does, but getting him to say it really sounds better. -Ask if the gun was calibrated properly if the above arguement does not work. If they say it was, ask for paperwork to prove it was calibrated no earlier than the 1st of April. -Ask if the radar was mounted on the dash of the cruiser, or if it was hand held. If it was mounted on the dash, the cruiser would have to be in a direct line of sight, with you traveling straight towards it, for the reading to be accurate. Print out a road map of the area and ask the officer to show where he was, and the direction you were traveling.
-Fight ALL of your tickets. Not just your first one.
