Is there a law that says that an officer has to show me the reading on the radar or laser unit?
No. In some cases, the officer does not lock in the initial reading in order to obtain a tracking history of the speed or to identify correctly the offending vehicle. The officers observation of the violation as measured by the speed detection instrument is all that is required.
