Ok here is the skinny on this law or used to be... When i lived in Washington state (Seattle) i had gotten a speeding ticket by an officer who claimed i was speeding and that there was a plane using radar that had clocked me at said speed... I hired an attorney and he was not able to show up so he gave me case law... After the judge called my name i stood up and stated 3 words and the judge said I all ready know what your going to say... Case dissmissed.
I won... Here is why.
The law and the reasoning at the time was that the person in the airplane has to pre-sign all the tickets then the ground officer issues the ticket also signs, Becasue the issuing officer did not view or have any proof of you speeding he cannot state that you were. And because you cannot cross examine the pilot the case has to be droped...
Law, The person issuing the ticket has to also be the person that viewed you speeding... So if one officer clocks you and sends another officer to pull you over and issue the citatation(s) but has not clocked you personally you can win your case.... I am sorry i cannot remember which law it was...
Some states maybe differ, So please check your own state for case law...
