How to find instructions for use of police radar?

Question

I'm looking for instructions how to use properly a police radar.
The type is Genesis Directional S/N GHD-01734. I found a lot of stores
that are selling it and all sorts of specifications, but not actual
instructions.
There must be some minimum time required to detect and identify a
vehicle.
Can somebody direct me to the manual that local police comonly use for
this purpouse?

I don't know what it looks like and I'm not interested in having one. All I need to know how to use it properely.
If you need to know, I'm trying to get out of speeding ticket. And the only explanation I can give is that the cop was not using it right.

Answer 1

LIke the previous posters do an internet search (best option) or go to your local library.

However, if your argument is that the police officer did not use the unit correctly, be aware that the department that this officer works for should have required that officer to attend a course approved by the manufacture to learn how to appropriately operate the device. I say this because no department is stupid enough to spend thousands of dollars, or more per unit, in equipment to use to enforce speed laws and not have their officers take an appropriate course to learn how to work the device. I doubt that argument will stand up in court, and all the officer would have to do is indicate to the court he is certified to operate such equipment.

You have a better bet to ask for calibration records of the unit, as they may be a little lax in conducting these tests as required by the manufacturer, and you may have a slim chance of beating the rap.

In reading your post further, I see you may use an argument of the length of miminum time to get a reading, but in reality these units take but a split second to get a reading. Keep in mind newer radar units are very sophisticated as they can measure speed of objects moving to and away from(depending where it's mounted on the vehicle) the unit and can distinguish objects moving faster vs. slower (thereby giving the speed of the faster moving object, no matter the size of the object).

Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

Unless you are working for a baseball team clocking pitches I wouldn't get caught with a radar unit in my vehicle. I would think you can google the manufacture and find out how to get an owners manual.

Answer 3

Is it the type that fits into a vehicle or is it a hand held unit.

Answer 4

HAVE YOU TRIED THE LIBRARY ????
