Yep! Know your state. Its not what you know but what can be proven. In my cases the prosecuting attorney questioned the ticketing officer. And the questions revolved around calibration. So yes it determined it was calibrated. When it was my turn I asked to produce the calibration book. They did not have it. Case dismissed! Yes the officer calibrated it and I am sure it was dead on. But the prosecuting attorney banked on the fact that I would not ask for it.
Secondly there is a statute that for the calibration to be admissible, the actual book needs to be produced. A photocopy is not addmissible. This too they are banking that the average citizen will not know. Its all about finding and exposing the technicality. If that one fails then find another one.
