Sure you can. But what are you going to fight with? First of all, how did you find out that he did not use his radar? Did he openly volunteer this information to you? Did he write a speed on the ticket? Chances are that even if he said that he did not use his radar at the time, when it comes to it, the judge would believe the officer over the defendant, unless that officer had a prior record for similar instances. If you were "clocked" by an officer, they "match speed" with you in their cruiser (or on their bike). Police cars (and bikes) are routinely put on a dynomometer to check the calibration of their speedometers, by the way. You're probably toast if you fight this one. You can send in your money, or appear. If you appear, you can see if the officer shows up. If he doesn't, you get off. If he does, you can take your chances and plead not guilty, but it's your word against his. You may try to plead guilty with an explanation if you feel it will do any good. Consider, though, that the judge has heard just about every cock and bull story in the universe already. Don't waste the court's time or play them for stupid (and, thereby, insult them). Good luck with this one.
Yes, they can.
Well i might get this wrong but it was a freeway wasn't it? So she wont be pulled over..? TRUE
A speeding ticket in California for going 86 mph on the freeway in a 65 mph speed limit varies from $180-$200. The fine can be reduced by going to a drivers training class by $30.
Yes, regular police officers have the authority to pull you over on the freeway and give you a speeding ticket. Their authority to enforce traffic laws extends to all public roads, including highways and freeways. If you received a speeding ticket, you can contest it in court if you believe you have a valid defense.
13.5 I just clocked my 1996 and the last tank I got 19.6 and that was a good mix of city, freeway and trailer pulling.

To freeway to freeway to have to do what you do.
It depends on what state your in and the cop. Also if you have had any previous run ins with the law.
it was a traffic jam on the freeway
Yes. honesty really IS the best policy. If you appear before the judge and plead you case in that fashion - if you don't have a speeding record already - you may get your request.
