Default works for me every time...either a warning or reduced to something minor

as long as you genuinely show respect and appreciation for them they usually are willing to let you go (in my experience).

Default The answer...

is to ask the officer for their calibration paperwork for the day. If they're unable to produce this paperwork, you're off the hook.

Default roady, have you done that? I would think they would get pissed and write one anyway...

what happened when you said that (if you have)? On legal grounds it sounds right, but don't know how well it would fly

Default did you check out one of the 2 sites that was linked in that blog post?...

http://www.policecrimes.com/police.html

that site is written by quite the skeptic, he/she pretty much advises the opposite of diylife

I personally have had the same experience as dougie, i do everything politely with deference to the officer..but no luck and no warning.

All they have to do is go to their car and write something down on the sheet if they haven't done it

In court after you've already gotten a ticket. Not on the side of the road trying to prevent one.
