Not sure, but I would think it would be the same in all states. In Louisiana, if you get stopped for speeding, you have the legal right to request to see the radar reading. And to note the time on the gun that the reading was made. If you feel it is not correct, and that you were not going as fast as the officer claims you were, you also have the right to request to see the calibration record of the radar equipment.
The radar equipment is supposed to be calibrated at least once a year, and if they cannot, or won't show you the calibration record when you request it, then you should have a pretty good case to fight the ticket in court.
No the law even says they do not have to show you the gun what so ever.
Most police officers I have met will show you the readings. As one officer stated, "It just shows the driver I have the proof".
It depends on the laws in your jurisdiction, but generally speaking no. In most localitites, there is no requirement for a police officer to use a radar gun, it's just one of the options. There are other ways to measure speed.
TN does not require radar certification. They only require working knowledge of thegun and how radar works. they do require the gun itself to be certified though.
Very accurate, it measures speed and doesn't care if the vehicle is traveling up or down, toward or away from the radar gun.
All they have to prove is that it was within manufacturer's specifications and calibrated properly, so when stopped by police, they don't need to show you the radar gun, when you ask to see it. An officer does not, and more than likely, will not show you what speed you were going on there radar. That issue would come up in court.
There is no law that the officer must show you the laser gun. Radars are no longer in use in Georgia.
Of course they can all they have to do is hold the radar gun with one hand and the wheel with the other
No, not on the scene. But if you go to court the officer will have to present certification as to their training to operate it, and the fact that was"calibrated."

No they do not. There is no state where it is a legal requirement.
They have to show that it is has been tested and is functioning properly.
no

Your question has nothing to do with FIREARMS.
