Not sure, but I would think it would be the same in all states. In Louisiana, if you get stopped for speeding, you have the legal right to request to see the radar reading. And to note the time on the gun that the reading was made. If you feel it is not correct, and that you were not going as fast as the officer claims you were, you also have the right to request to see the calibration record of the radar equipment.
The radar equipment is supposed to be calibrated at least once a year, and if they cannot, or won't show you the calibration record when you request it, then you should have a pretty good case to fight the ticket in court.

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.
