You were given a ticket for speeding and upon asking to see the radar the officer states the speed was not locked in how can that prove you were going that speed?

If the speed was not locked in and the officer refused to show you the radar, take the ticket to court. Odds are in your favor that the judge will dismiss your ticket.
That answer is incorrect. In no state is there a requirement that the officer show you the radar or even that he lock it in. The officer's testimony is sufficient for a conviction. In fact, in most states all an officer has to testify is that he visually observed you speeding and that is sufficient.

Is there a law that states that you can drive the same speed as an officer if their siren and lights aren't on even if they're speeding?
Answer: Yes, speed as much want mate. The police will still arrest ya. :) Answer: I very much doubt that there is such a law. If a police officer is speeding, he is either breaking the law himself, or it might just be justified as an emergency. In either case, that doesn't justify somebody else's speeding.

Can a cop search your car if you got pulled over for speeding?
Unless the officer discovered probable cause during the traffic stop (or had probable cause prior to), then no, the search was illegal. The officer would have needed to obtain probable cause to search the vehicle, in reference to Carroll v. United States. The prior answer referenced "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" and that was incorrect. During a traffic stop for speeding, generally, no one is being arrested, and "Search Incident to Lawful Arrest" only allows the the officer to search for evidence related to the arrest, which for speeding, there wouldn't be any such evidence.

If you plead not guilty to a speeding ticket can you end up paying more money in the long run and how likely is it?
In some states you can end up paying more money if you are found guilty. Nowadays, unless you have witnesses and good evidence, a police officer is always right. If they say you were speeding, then you were speeding (according to the judge). You could plead guilty and ask that it be reduced or taken off your record if you can stay clean for 90 days, some states will allow deals like that. If you were honestly not guilty, then plead your case and see what happens.
