What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon



How important is it for the officer to have a log and docs on the radar gun used at trail?
also, can the judge dismiss for not having a log and dates of calibraition etc?

How important is it for the officer to have a log and docs on the radar gun used at trail?

Not important at all unless there is a subpeona for the officer to present the info.

also, can the judge dismiss for not having a log and dates of calibraition etc?

Possibly. But not likely.

The lack of calibration information at trial will go to the trier of facts regarding the veracity of the measurement.

You can bet the officer will say he calibrated it. The lack of documentation proving this beyond the officer's testimony will not hurt his testimony.

It is not grounds for a dismissal.

You can but the request will be denied. Other tickets written by the officer before and after your's are not relevant and will have no bearing on your case and will not be used against you. You must be reading one of those websites on how to beat a ticket.

What is the point of doing that?
