Since 2010, There are no states that require the officer to show the radar or laser results. Virginia used to have a law, but it has since been repealed. Some departments have policies that allow or require the officer to show you the results.
Most states allow the officer to estimate your speed, and this is valid in a court of law.
What else can I help you with?
When a police officer uses radar speed for control the officer is using what kind of electromagnetic waves?
Radar uses radio waves.
Can a Police Officer use a Radar Gun to clock speed of a car while the Police Officer is driving?
Of course they can all they have to do is hold the radar gun with one hand and the wheel with the other
Can a Police Officer use Radar to clock the speed of a car while the Police Officer is driving?
The answer is "yes." Traffic radar monitors both the speed of the vehicle in which is it mounted and the speed of "target" vehicles coming toward or moving away from it. On the radar display, the officer sees two speeds: "patrol" (the speed of his vehicle) and "target" (the speed of the vehicle the radar is tracking). the target speed measurement is equally accurate, whether the patrol vehicle is moving or not.

How does the Escort Radar Detector work?
The Escort Radar Detector scans for the radio frequency waves of most police department speed guns. These speed gun frequencies can be detected for about a mile before actually seeing the police officer.
How far away does a police officer be from a speed limit sign to use a radar to determine whether you are speeding in Ohio?
There are no such laws. A police officer can check your speed anywhere along the roadway. If you're in excess of the posted speed for that stretch of road, and they pull you over, it's a ticket.
Can radar work when police in motion?
No. With police officers in motion, it would appear that cars would be going slower. Say that a car is going 50 MPH, and you are going 45 MPH. Eventually the vehicle wil be ahead of you. Now say you are a police officer with radar. If you test this car, it will appear (on radar) that the 50 MPH car is only going 5 MPH, thus to get the accurate speed, you must be going 0 MPH.Disagree. The original police radar required a stationary unit. Radar is use for the past 30 years is capabable of adding or deducting the speed of the police car from the observed speed. It does not require that the police car be in one fixed spot.Added: The second cotributor is correct. I seriously doubt that any of the old radar units are still in operation much less certifiable as accurate. ALSO: the term "radar" is a commonly used by the the public to describe ALL police speed-clocking devices. Any of these can be calibrated to be used while the vehicles are in motion.
When a police officer gives someone a ticket for speeding is the officer concerned with instantaneous speed or the driver's average speed?
Instantaneous, usually. When the officer uses a radar or laser gun to "clock" you, he is determining your instantaneous speed. But sometimes police use helicopters to track the time it takes you to travel between two landmarks. In those cases, it's your average speed that's being recorded.
Does an officer have to show you the radar gun in California?
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.
Do police radars work in the fog?
The radar works just fine, but the operator (the traffic officer) may not be able to see an approaching vehicle as well or as far away in fog conditions. The proper way to use traffic radar is to observe a speeding vehicle, visually estimate its speed, and then confirm the speed with the traffic radar. In dense fog, the traffic radar may indicate speeding vehicles the officer cannot see.
