2. true, but, not all states use the same radar gun. either way, there will be some record that the device has been calibrated. if this cannot be produced, a good lawyer can and will argue the validity of the ticket.

Hahaha. Man you've got me pinned wrong. First off I'm pretty conservative. But at the same time I'm not an "azzhole" like JC says. People make mistakes. You're comparison of a doctor amputating the wrong limb is somewhat more extreme than writing a number or a letter down mistakenly. My point with that is, a defense attorney can knowingly defend someone who has murdered someone, or robbed someone, but then get the guy off on a technicality. If your or a loved one was a victim of a crime and their defense attorney got them off of an assault charge for a typo, you would be pretty angry.
So because this officer wrote down one digit wrong out of the guys license number, he is therefore proven incompetent for the entirety of the case? Lol give me a break.
I understand the calibration of the equipment. I'm just saying that you shouldn't bank on that because officers know that will get the ticket thrown out, therefore they will probably take the ~5 seconds to do it.
