Don't know about your state regulations on the Radar...but in CA, they're
required to calibrate the Radar Guns EVERY DAY that they use them and keep a
log of it. If the log shows not to have been calibrated within 24 hours of
your speeding ticket (with radar) you can have it dismissed.
That was the rules back in the early to mid 90's and I don't think they've
changed them. (At least I hope not...for our sake.) :)
