HELP! As the unfortunate victim of an overdose of microwave radiation, namely a police radar speed trap, I am in desperate need of any useful advice from this well informed audience. Does anyone out there have experience with challenging radar in court? I have heard of government testing done on the accuracy of radar units showing they are capable of clocking trees at over 60 MPH. I have also heard about cases where the radar evidence had been thrown out of court, particularly a case in Florida. What I really need is the kind of specifics that would be acceptable evidence to bring to court. Has anyone done this before? Does anyone know where I might begin looking for info on legal precedents and the like? I presume a large library would have magazine articles and such but how could I obtain the results of the tests on radar in a form that would be legally admissible evidence? Any advise should be mailed directly to me and I will post a summary along with news of my success or failure. I am sure many of you may one day need this information also. Please help. The a*s you save may be your own. Rich Venditto (circe!nrv @ BTL in Murray Hill)
