    Default Radar Laws in Washington State

    State of: Washington, Clark County
    I went to the courthouse and got the calibration records for the SMD device used on me. The report says it was calibrated EXACTLY 6 months before my ticket was issued.I got my ticket 01\23\10, and it was calibrated 07\23\09.
    I looked up the service manual, and it just says "check with your local service center or judicial district for requirements. The people at the court will give me no info. The website is no help either. I read somewhere that ALL devices have to be calibrated at least every 6 months. Where do I find out how often the device has to be calibrated?

    The counties I'm familiar with use either a 1-year or 2-year calibration cycle. I don't know about Clark County, specifically, but six-months would be good (for radar or lidar) ANYWHERE in the state that I know. However, you did NOT specify what type of SMD was used in your case. VASCAR and ENRADD units may be different.

    Does any PD use ENRADD in WA? I haven't seen any case law on it...
