This is just a tip I learned from a cop friend of mine for beating tickets--a cop friend of mine who happens to be a hot woman and also drives a 2001 Corvette. Gotta love that!
Anyway, in Texas radar guns have to be calibrated and certified every year or they are not legally valid. This is usually done in cities, but in more rural areas most of the cops don't get their radars calibrated. If you get a ticket in a rural area, I would go to court and ask to see the radar gun's certification. If it hasn't been calibrated within a year, it can't be used and the judge will have to throw it out. I don't know about other states, but I am sure they have something similar. Check into it...
