    Default Do the police have to show you the radar reading

    I was just wondering if the police had to show you the radar gun if you asked to see it. I have lived in colorado and in Louisana and both states there are people that say yes!!! I would like to know if that is a law or code of conduct or something in louisana?

    After more than a dozen years of hearing this rumor passed around, I have yet to find any state that has a law requiring an officer to show a person the radar reading. There are a host of safety reasons against this practice, and very little practical reason to do so since all it would show is A locked in reading - not necessarily the cited driver's.
