Info on Radar guns...?, wondering if I can get out of a ticket Options

[Smlogg]

Basically, was on a trip with a friend, he was driving and pushing about 85 in a 55mph zone in his van. Some cop on the opposite side of the highway flips it around and starts following us. By the time hes turned around we are definetly going under 70. He follows us for half a mile or so, then turns on his lights and pulls us over. He says he clocked us going 80mph on his radar gun...

Is this even possible? (to get a bead on a car and a reliable speed approx moving opposite of the object you are scanning) I thought you had to be in a stationary position for a radar gun to be effective. Any info on if this is fightable or not would be nice. thnx~

trust me on this, it doesnt matter who was moving, If an officer hits your car with a radar gun, its accurate.

thus why speeding is not good



you can fight any ticket, but just rember, if the officer shows up to court, your going to lose. Also just becuase he doesnt show up doesnt mean your going to win. If u go to court and lose your paying the vaule of the ticket plus court costs.

id say just pay it. he was speeding.
