Speeding Ticket Issues
My friend just got a speeding ticket for going 29mph over the speed limit. He knows he wasn't going that fast over the speed limit. When the state trooper pulled him over and told him that he was, my friend requested to show him the radar gun. The trooper refused. Gave multiple excuses, ranging from the number erases instantly to he doesnt have to show it to my friend. PA law i believe states that going 30mph over the speed limit is an automatic license suspension, convieniantly, the officer said my friend was going 29mph. Which leads me to assume if my friend was going 30mph the officer would have been forced by procedure to show the speeder the radar gun. That being said, could my friend use this mess up of procedure to get out of the ticket?

Re: Speeding Ticket Issues
Where was your friend nailed?
A few hours ago I was traveling up RT 115 in Effort with two cars ahead of me and I saw a state trooper on the side street, which was no big deal to me since I was just wandering up the road in no hurry.
After they went by the side street, I saw the trooper roll down to the main road and a that point he pointed the radar gun at me, which would have removed the previous drivers speed.
Well, he pulled out and went up the road and pulled over one of them and I am sure that they received a ticket. I am still not sure why he pulled over the driver that he did since they were both travelin at the same speed! It must be a trooper thing!

From the PennDot web site:
http://www.dot4.state.pa.us/pdotform...rms/dl-71p.pdf
Excessive Speeding
When a driver is convicted for speeding 31 miles per hour or more over the posted speed limit, the driver will have to attend a Departmental hearing. The driver will receive a written notice of the specific time and location of the required hearing. The hearing examiner will review the driving record. Upon the Department's review of the hearing file, one or both of the following will be initiated:
1. 15 Day License Suspension
2. Special On-Road Driver's Examination
If a 15 day suspension is initiated, the driving record will show 5 points upon restoration. No points are removed if a special driver's examination is initiated and completed.
Failure to attend this Departmental hearing will result in a 60 day license suspension.

Nope, they can as a courtesy show you but it`s not required. If it is in a remote location, overpass or a big chase car set up or even the helicopter they don`t show you and the other roadside rumor people believe is the guy with the unit has to do the writing. Not in Pa.

The LEO does NOT have to show you the speed on the device used to monitor your speed.
