Radar does not match ticket, or his words.

What is the name of your state? Texas

I was driving back home from a road trip and i got pulled over. The officer told me he 'clocked me doing 85' in a 65. Then claimed that by the time he caught up to me i was only doing 73. He said he would be nice and only give me the ticket for 73. he handed me the ticket, then i asked to see the radar, it showed 77. I asked to take a picture, so i got my camera. He then got really mad and denied me the picture and then told me he would gladly re-write the ticket for 77. after some quick arguing he told me to get in my car and leave or he would arrest me for standing in the road.

Do i have a case considering the fact that non of his numbers add up?

Now keep in mind my car was in cruise control doing about 65 or 67 mph at the time i was pulled over.

Your use of cruise control will not mean anything in court.

The officer had every right to not let you take a picture of the radar. Most officers will not even let you see the radar.

It seems to me the officer tried to cut you a break and you decided that wasn't good enough for you.
