I have a trial for a speeding ticket in Indianapolis, Indiana in the next few days.
I was issued a speeding ticket for driving 67 mph in a 55 mph zone. I had requested the cop to give me a copy of his RADAR training certificate and RADAR log (i.e. RADAR reading) that shows/evidences that I was driving at 67 in a 55 mph zone.
I was told by the cop that he did not attend any in-class or specific instructional training with respect to the RADAR device he used. He did not have any training certificate(s) in the use of RADAR(s), whatsoever. It appears that another officer showed/trained him how to operate the RADAR device he used to issue the speeding ticket.
Also, the cop did not give me a copy of the RADAR log (i.e. RADAR reading) that shows I was driving at 67 in a 55 mph zone. He did not save the RADAR reading, and hence, he could not give me a copy of the RADAR log (i.e. RADAR reading). Basically, in the court, it's his word against mine.
Can the Judge find me guilty of speeding on the sole basis of cop's oral testimony without RADAR reading and without adequate RADAR training?
Any specific Indiana Court of Appeals cases that I may use to beat this ticket?
I would appreciate if any of you could help me with ideas to contest this ticket. Thank you.
