Lurker,
As an officer, i commend you on your apparent respect for the officers and their job.
however, i want to point out only one thing with your post.....
In your Post "Remember that officers are usually not required to show you the readout on the radar gun (for their safety and yours.)...
you should leave out the word usually. Information only, there is no law or statute stating that an officer is required to show you the radar. I can only speak for myself in saying that if a person i have stopped asks to see my radar unit, my answer depends upon #1) their attitude towards me and the stop, and #2) any dangers such as other traffic. if the stop is on 14th my answer will probably be politely "no" with short explination. if the person is rude, obnoxious, or insultive towards me, then my reply would be "you may subpeona the records for the radar into court".
I am also not sure about the your comments regarding how dirty the car is and so on but i guess it could be possible. i know that is not a factor that i use, but still could be used by some.
