HELP!
	As the unfortunate victim of an overdose of microwave radiation,
namely a police radar speed trap, I am in desperate need of any useful
advice from this well informed audience. Does anyone out there have 
experience with challenging radar in court? I have heard of government
testing done on the accuracy of radar units showing they are capable of
clocking trees at over 60 MPH. I have also heard about cases where the
radar evidence had been thrown out of court, particularly a case in
Florida. What I really need is the kind of specifics that would be
acceptable evidence to bring to court. Has anyone done this before?
Does anyone know where I might begin looking for info on legal
precedents and the like? I presume a large library would have magazine
articles and such but how could I obtain the results of the tests on
radar in a form that would be legally admissible evidence?
	Any advise should be mailed directly to me and I will post a
summary along with news of my success or failure. I am sure many of you
may one day need this information also. Please help. The a*s you save
may be your own.
