A year ago I was issued a citation for doing 61 in a 35. A that time the officer said I had the right to ask him to calibrate his radar gun so I said sure. He came back to my car and said it checked out OK. I paid the ticket and went on with life.
Recently I was issued a citation for doing 54 in the same 35. The officer never mentioned radar gun calibration.
Is there actually a law in GA that says I have the right to have the radar gun calibrated at the traffic stop? Or was the first officer yanking my chain?
I have asked for a bench trial rather than pay the fine this time. Can I fight it on the calibration grounds?
