    How Can I Get Officer's Logs Related to SMD Used Before and After Stop
    Where and how can I find officer's logs before & after he stopped me, cus in his statement he says; "The RADAR system prodused a clear and steady audible tone that was consistent with both the speed reading and my visual observations/tracking history. The RADAR system was being used in stationary mode[x] I was using a Directional Eagle II RADAR speed measuring device#--------. This radar unit is calibrated and it has been certified to be in proper working order. I have been trained and qualified in the use of RADAR/LIDAR speed measuring devices by the C-J-T-Commis.The RADAR unit was checked both internally and by the assigned tuning forks #----and#----.,before and after the stop, The RADAR unit appeared to be working properly.

    Officer's statement doesn't say anything about the date and time when & who actually performed the test before and after the stop [except attached Tech's certified copy of certificate says it was checked more than 6 month ago by tech/facility]. More than 6 month is not reasnable time to claim 100% that an Electronich Device will work properly

    My Q is does officer is required to log the SMD test results in his papers EACH TIME when he stops/issue acitation on daily,weekly or monthly basis.
    How & where deffendet can find this iformation before the hearing date.Does he have to make request to city clerk or city police staion on seprate farm.

    Laws are different in each state.

    In Connecticut (may be the same in other states) you do this one or two ways.
    1. Send an Informal Discovery Request to the Police Agency that ticketed you.
    2. File a Freedom of Information Act letter requesting the same.
