Ask when he did calibration, distance he was away from you and when he was last trained, Other then that your pretty much screwed as it is pointed diretly at your car.

what is the acceptable range for distance, being trained and calibration time frame?

Look up "disclosure request" on here. Ask for tons of stuff, typed copy of cops notes, radar unit model number, when it was tested before his shift, after his shift, date of manufacture, the user manual, the distance, direction, etc.

Let us know when you get disclosure and we might be able to help you more once we find out what's in the officers notes.

Depends what you classify beating this.
If you are expecting it completely dropped then it will be very low.

I was in a group where the first 4 guys got pulled over. They were riding fairly tight so the cop couldn't prove definitively in court which bike he pinged with the lazer. He was a decent guy so after a long lecture, he admitted it and let them go with a warning. They were definitely riding with horseshoes that day.

Any chance you were riding close to someone else when popo got you?

Nice! Where was the cop? Draw a diagram in MSPAINT so we have a better idea

If you got the ticket recently make SURE you grab a pen right now and write down everything you can remember about it. Be super detailed, traffic conditions, car, weather, etc. etc.

That would most likely be with a radar, not a lidar (laser). If a cop can't say which vehicle the little dot is on in his sight, well, he probably shouldn't be driving.

What letter / form us this?

Didn't he clearly tell you "Look up "disclosure request" on here" ???

Don't be lazy, do some searches, start reading, inform yourself...

Oh, what the hell, use one of these letters : http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum...ull-disclosure

You should be able to find all the resources that you need in the "fighting your ticket" sticky post, at the top of the forum.

Of course the cop said he didn't when my friend went to court, but he had a dash cam and you could clearly see that he was NOT pointing it in the direction of his car, he was sitting in the drivers seat pointing it right in his sideview mirror!

I had never heard of that before!!!

If you ask the cop in court he'll say it was on a super stabilized tri-pod perfectly perpendicular to the direction of the traffic, which is all BS of course

So your friend used the dash can in court as proof ??

Yep, I dropped it in Adobe Primere to add a live "date/time stamp" (stupid courts said they wouldn't accept it otherwise), and boom, case closed
