Can an officer refuse to let you see the speed reading on his radar gun during a traffic stop for speeding in the state of Texas?
Without knowing the Texas law specifically, I will say yes. First if you had a 'right' to see the radar, he would have shown it to you. Second, most officers are taught NOT to lock the speed on the radar. It doesn't prove anything because a locked reading could have been locked in days ago, and it stops the officer from gaining more information. For example: I'm working radar on a straight road where I can see the cars coming at me well before they can recognize that I'm in a police car. If the person is over the speed limit all the way up to the point that they recognize my car and then jams on the brakes, that tells me that they KNEW they were speeding. IF they continue without overreacting to me, then there is a good chance that they are making an honest mistake and do not know the speed limit.

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.

A law enforcement officer can check your vehicle for maintenance issues if they have a reasonable suspicion that it may pose a safety hazard or violate traffic regulations. This typically occurs during a traffic stop for another violation, such as speeding or a broken taillight. The officer may then inspect the vehicle if they believe its condition could endanger public safety. Additionally, some jurisdictions allow for roadside safety inspections under specific circumstances.
Can a police office allowed to overrule a traffic signal?
The whole point of having a police officer directing traffic is that he will override the traffic signals in order to create a better flow of traffic. This can be necessary during unusual happenings such as a traffic accident or a sports stadium emptying out. If motorists were going to obey the traffic lights anyway, there would be no point in putting the police officer there!
