Sorry, But I've got to do something rare here... Side with Unit...

I am a (Professional Witness) Not only do I testify for the state but also in civil matters unrelated to persons I have traffic with. Not giving the tie to the officer would be deadly.

Of course the court takes the side of the officer when he performs his legal duties. If the court didn't, then anyone could say "no I wasn't speeding" and have it dismissed.

I don't see how there can be a "tie" in a factual case. You either have definitive evidence that a law was broken or you don't... (hence the radar...)
If the court always sides with the officer, even though there is no evidence to support it besides an officer saying there was a violation, what keeps a "bad" cop in check? (Not saying that there are any here..
)
Are we saying that even a "good" cop cannot make a mistake or miscalculation because they are trained? I don't feel to comfortable with that assumption.
If you can't provide evidence in court, I'm sorry Unit is right.
Innocent until PROVEN guilty. Not just because Officer so and so said so....
No evidence, no case. As true in traffic court as it is in circuit court.
