The two police cars (one of which came and pulled me over) were parked in an odd fashion: one was parked on the side of the road with its front faced towards me (acually dangerously protruding onto the road if you ask me). The other was parked next to it with its front facing the direction i was traveling in. It was obvious that they were sitting there chatting. She even said, "My parter told me to radar you" in her explanation as I was inquiring about the radar.

Point 1: This makes me wonder about the legitimacy of the reading. I dont know which car she was in. Nevertheless, how could either one of the officers have a clear shot of me? One would have a squad car between us, and the other would have to point the gun at who knows what angle through the car to make TWO readings, the later of which was supposidly successful.

Point 2: She said she took one reading as I was oncoming that errored, and another as I was leaving. How could she recalibrate the gun within these few seconds?

Thanks.

P.S. If you havn't noticed this is a war of princible, and if I had anything else to do I'd just pay the fine and forget about it =)
