Should I always ask for radar records?
No. Radar-specific records make sense only when the citation or other case information indicates radar was used.
Radar and LiDAR Evidence California
Learn how radar and LiDAR evidence may be reviewed in California speeding-ticket cases and what records may matter.
Measurement method
Radar and LiDAR questions should be tied to what the citation or officer record actually says.
Records that may matter
Device logs, calibration records, maintenance records, training records or declarations may be relevant when a device is actually indicated.
California-specific issues
Speed-trap and engineering survey questions are fact-dependent and should not be assumed from a vague narrative alone.
