Pays to aske to see the reading and to see a calibration date and report (they are supposed to carry) If not in current test period it's invalid.

and Jeremy, I got done for (supposedly) 80 in a 50 zone (what the ticket says)
both myself and my passenger were a) suprised at my being pulled over and b) aghast at the reading on the gun.
I told the officer it was rather erroneous and that as I hadn't even left second gear very unlikely that was an accurate reading (if I am going 80 in 2nd my car is screaming its tits off - I don't usually drive like that in 50 zones)
completely bogus, and I told him so. I may have been speeding 60-65, which is fine, but just to pull this figure out of the air really bugs me.
I am going to court - I think what (may have) generated the bad reading was the fact I was accelerating. Their calculations are for consistent speend over a period of X second(s)... physics formula for velocity taking into consideration acceleration is vastly different than the one which includes constant velocity (how readings are taken)
That can be my only explanation aside from a totally fudged camera or method of operation
