It is all about the FERENCY law in Michigan. There is a similar law in every state in the US. This is the law in Michigan:
1. The officer operating the device has adequate training and experience in its operation.
2. The radar device was in proper working condition and properly installed in the patrol vehicle at the time of the issuance of the citation.
3. The radar device was used in an area where road conditions are such that there is a minimum possibility of distortion (spurious readings).
4. The input speed of the patrol vehicle was verified. This also means that the speedometer of the patrol vehicle was independently calibrated.
5. The speedmeter (radar) is retested at the end of the shift in the same manner that it was tested prior to the shift and that the speedmeter (radar) be serviced by the manufacturer or other professional as recommended.
6. The radar operator is able to establish that the target vehicle was within the operational area of the beam at the time the reading was displayed.
7. The particular unit has been certified for use by an agency with some demonstrable expertise in the area.
They must have these papers in hand to show the court proving that the radar was installed properly and all that good stuff. And if they don't have one of those to prove it was done, then boom, you are home free.
Also, when you get pulled over and the officer asks you the normal questions such as, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "Do you know what the speed limit is on this road?" "Do you know how fast you are going?" You need to have a tape recorder on hand recording everything, and after he asks any of these questions you say, "I respecfully decline to answer that question." (You say this after everytime he asks ANY question. And when he asks for the license and registration and goes back to his car and remembers you have recorded everything that was said and never answered one question, you may be off with just a warning also.
Also, during the trial you need to make A LOT of objections because the longer your case is there, the more money they are spending on your case. The officer also doesn't want to be there for 4 hours just for a speeding ticket. Just like the rest of us he wants to go home to his wife and family and just wants to leave.
There is some other info on the video also, but that is the jist of it.
