What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
Assuming it is legal in your state to record the conversation you have with a police officer (is there any state where this is illegal, and if so, what if you ask permission?); What would stop you if next time you get pulled over and the cop decides to be "nice" and lower your violation to keep it off your record (for example you were doing 13 over the speed limit and the cop writes the ticket for 10 over) and you get this all recorded(you may need to ask questions to get the full explanation on record. "So I was going xx miles per hour but you're only going to write the ticket for yy over the limit?".)
Wouldn't you now have evidence of a police officer falsifying a police report (the ticket)? That ticket is a legal document and falsifying any evidence or admissible legal documentation is against the law and would therefore nullify the ticket, correct?
Alternatively or additionally, if the radar is visible and still locked you could take a digital picture of the actual speed (the digital picture would be time/date stamped electronically and would coincide with the time/date written on the ticket.) If the picture and what was written on the ticket did not match, there would be another example of falsifying a document.
