    That and the dash cam.

    If you’re worried enough about police integrity, have a dash cam and have it on. I’ve seen videos (rare) where the cop lied about speed and the dash cam was used to knock it down.

    Even cheap ones could be used to figure out speed based on landmarks and time stamps. GPS speed would be more conclusive, though.

      For that scenario all you’d have to do is pay a lawyer to file a motion of discovery, and the charges will almost certainly be dropped. You could probably talk a paralegal to do it for cheap, or your jurisdiction might allow you to file it yourself.

      It costs more to gather the evidence than they’ll get from the fine.
