Va state trooper and no radar detector? Fair, or Unfair?!?
i was pulled over for speeding, doing 84 in a 55. I asked the state trooper if i could see the radar detector to see if i really was going that fast and he replied with, "No you can not see it, i don't have to show you if i don't want too." and also "I clocked you going 84, and the second time i clocked you going 79," I simply said, why can't i see it? and he replied with, "Because i don't have them, they automatically erase from the system after i clocked you."Now i was told, by my lawyer, and fellow police officers, that it is your right to see the radar detector,and the state trooper or any police personnel have to show it to you regardless. Now because i was denied my right to be shown the evidence, the proof, i should not be receiving this ticket. For all i know, he could of charged me doing 110 in a 55...i don't know how fast i was going, i wont plead guilty because i simply wasn't paying attention to my speedometer at the time, and i couldn't see the radar detector.
