getting pulled over

In Florida, if you ask, they need to show you. But it is more or less your word against his without that gun, and in court (if they even show up, most cops don't around here) like mustangII said, the judge is leaning towards the cop's side right away. It's biased if you are truly in the right and the cop feels like being a dick, but that's the way the law works to get the people who try and abuse using court to get out of tickets. My brother was nailed doing 53 in a 30 turning from a 45 zone into a 30 zone (a normal road, 90degree turn onto a residential road). He wasn't doing close to that, probably a little under 40 at the most. The cop was also way down the normal road behind him. So there's no way to have picked him off unless it was before he turned (houses and trees in the way). I have a feeling he wanted to get a kid with a sports car. Cuz my brother's radar didn't go off (good one too) nor was it possible to make that turn at that continuous speed. And speeding down that road is retarded, we all know it, so he truly wasn't going that fast. He lost it in court, probably because the cop had a good record and obviously went to radar school. It's jumped our insurance unjustly, but like I said, cops have the biased opinion of the court. It's crap but it works most of the time.
