Speeding ticket in Louisiana

What is the name of your state? Louisiana

Is a speeding ticket valid without the signature of the policeman that stopped you? I was not speeding, when I passed the policeman she was on her cell phone talking after I passed her she stopped me and said I was speeding, I looked at the radar which I was told that I was clocked @ 56 in a 40, but on my ticket it was not marked that it was on the radar. What are the radar calibration laws in LA?

Any information would be appreciated

Here's the final answer to SPEEDING TICKETS

I didn't speed that's the point. And you didn't answer my question.

In most cases, yes. I'm sure it has his name or ID number on it somewhere. And if not, well, then the court won't know who to subpoena so just show up when you are required to and smile.

It could be that she estimated your speed. This is valid in most states.

As for radar calibration "laws" in LA, I do not know. Depending on the manufacturer, they might vary. In general, radars must be maintained at least once per year by the manufacturer or authorized service provider. Additionally, prior to shift, an officer may have to calibrate the device using a tuning fork or other device designed specifically for that purpose. More than likely you can seek this information through a proper motion for discovery.
