What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
I've got a court notice to appear for trial on a speeding ticket. The stop was made on a Hwy with a posted limit of 65 mph, the officer using laser at a distance of 1536 ft. He showed me the gun and told me the distance, listing it on the citation.
I requested an engineering survey for that stretch of road and was given an email from the WISDOT Traffic Operations Supervisor that no such survey exists. I've been reading that the citation may be dismissed (according to some case law I've seen) if this survey doesn't exist. I've read the MUTCD and the addendum by the state of Wisconsin, WMUTCD and I'm not sure that the dismissal will be that direct.
Of course, the evidence for calibrating the laser gun will be contested...but is there other good advice for me to follow?
