He has to show you the radar gun and that is was recently tested and adjusted to accurate measure how fast you were going. It's like the same thing as an officer can ask you to search your car. If you say yes then you just gave him a verbal agreement otherwise you can tell him no and if he had a good reason to ask you to begin with then he needs to have a search warrant. I don't know if this is entirely true but someone can't assume that you were speeding without evidence of it.

this reminds me of my speeding incident. i was on the parkway going home from school around 10 pm and this car was following me and trying to mess with me or trying to get me to race him. it was an POS car so i just ignored him.

You know technically they have to read the Miranda rights to you BEFORE questioning, so those questions/answers would be thrown out of any court.

As in ......
You have the right to remain silent,
You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning,
If you give up that right, anything you say will be taken down in pencil,
changed at a later date, and used as evidence against you!

that's right man. You know you can be arrested and hauled to jail without being read your rights at all. They just need that for questioning. You can also be read your rights if there is no intention of arrest...though it's still some scary sh!t when you're a sophomore in high school.
