Each state has different rules governing radar. In Georgia, the officer must tell you that you a right to have him/her to re-check the radar for calibration but is does not state that he must allow you to see the test or the display with your speed on it.

From a Georgia traffic lawyer: There is no law in Georgia that they must show you the laser/radar, however, there is some misinformation floating around where people believe there is. This is 100% not true, and if you go to court with this, the judge will not be impressed.

The calibration law only applies to radars, which have been replaced with lasers in Georgia. However, under the calibration, the officer was required to calibrate the radar on request. Again, there was no requirement that they show you anything. If you made this demand, the officer would return to the patrol car, calibrate the laser, and then return to you and tell you it was calibrated. You'd still get your ticket.

What are radar conspicuous?

On navigation charts, you may find a feature marked on the chart as 'Radar conspicuous'. This means that the feature will show up clearly on radar and be identified as that part on the chart.This not so obvious as it sounds. Land shows up on ship's radars, but due to reflections, absorption of radar signals and refraction, it can not always be certain to positively identify a coastline by it's shape.Having something that stands out, because of it's shape and radar reflection, is useful for navigation purposes.


What are the advantages of radar range over radar bearing?

Radar range is the distance of the object from the radar. Radar bearing is the direction of the object in relation to the radar. As radar is primarily used for ranging, the range information may be more important than the bearing.

All they have to prove is that it was within manufacturer's specifications and calibrated properly, so when stopped by police, they don't need to show you the radar gun, when you ask to see it. An officer does not, and more than likely, will not show you what speed you were going on there radar. That issue would come up in court.
