Also...I see a few people saying "my speedometer says XXXX."

Thats fine and dandy but a calibrated and function tested radar or lidar is much more reliable and trustworthy. At least courts accept them as such - the same cannot be said for mfgr speedometer. One of my partners had a BRAND NEW truck that ran 7mph over at 70 - confirmed by a radar or lidar (I forget which). He took it back to the dealer who checked it out, and ended up replacing the unit.

Also - dont forget tire sizes and transmission mods.

Just one more thing to consider.

Get a good speeding ticket lawyer - one's been recommended on this board for Houston area - not sure what area this happened. MIght call the Sgt and ask him what the policies are on how to conduct traffic stops.

Did you ask how the speed was identified? He may have been running moving radar with the rear cone, in which case you can take an angle of were there any other signatures the radar was picking up that was larger than yours. When was the unit tuning fork tested? (start of shift?) - was it tested immediately after the stop? He may have visually estimated - while it is still admissible it is historically less concrete in court.

A good lawyer will know all of these. That's weird about having you stand behind the car.
