    I dont know how highwary patrol handle things out there in NY, but
  here on the west coast, If a patrol tags you with radar, you have the
  right to ask the officer to show you the gun showing the speed that he
  is going to right you up for. Now if the gun has been cleared, You can 
  bring this up in court and they will toss the case out. Out here at least,
  you cannot be tagged by radar only (except in special circumstances designated
  by city/county ordances) {Im assuming that this all happened on the 
  highway}. The highway patrol must clock you in addition to zapping you 
  with radar to make it stick. 

      As for evidence that the gun itself is screwy, I heard that there
  are reports done by some federal agency proving that the guns were not
  "a sure means of determining speed". {Hence the highway patrol must clock
  you in addition to using the gun} I would assume that you could get
  your hands on one of these reports down at you local federal repository.
  {It would be worth $$$$ to me to go down and investigate.}


  good luck and stick the suckers.
