Which officer has to show up in court (speed)

[sebberry]

If a driver receives a speeding ticket after driving through a trap whereby his or her travel speed is recorded by one officer but relayed to a second officer who actually writes the ticket, which officer has to show up in traffic court should the driver contest the ticket?

[zulutango]

Both are needed unless the issuing Member saw the speed reading and tests that the other Member did on the instrument.

^ that's interesting.

If a dude was speeding but the cop did not give chase and decided to radio-ed another cop and he did the arrest, the initial cop would have to come ?

Yes.

Unless the conditions were that the second cop also measured your speed and did not just simply pull you over.
