If an officer uses traffic radar or LIDAR (laser) to measure speed for enforcement purposes, he usually has to be prepared to testify in court to the type of device used, its serial number, and the date of its last calibration. This information isn't necessarily recorded on the violator's copy of the citation. Officers usually make notes on each citation issued. The notes may be in the officer's personal notebook, or on a copy of the citation sent to the court.

You were given a ticket for speeding and upon asking to see the radar the officer states the speed was not locked in how can that prove you were going that speed?
If the speed was not locked in and the officer refused to show you the radar, take the ticket to court. Odds are in your favor that the judge will dismiss your ticket. That answer is incorrect. In no state is there a requirement that the officer show you the radar or even that he lock it in. The officer's testimony is sufficient for a conviction. In fact, in most states all an officer has to testify is that he visually observed you speeding and that is sufficient.
