Does and officer have to show you his radar gun and calibration log if asked when pulled over?

I was pulled over and the officer said I was spending. I asked to see the radar and the calibration log book and he refused. Can her do that? I was getting on the highway late at night. Another car that was about two lanes over went flight by as I'm merging onto the highway. The car actually pulled over in front of me as we both pulled over and then took off. The cop said I was going 90 but like I said I was just merging onto the highway.

the officer is not required to show you his radar gun calibration or his records on scene. However, if you contest the ticket he will have to provide you (OR YOUR ATTORNEY) with the calibration records, the read-out records and his qualifications to use the radar. Use "find a lawyer" to find a local experienced attorney who handles tickets in the area where you received the ticket. They will be familiar with the judge/magistrate who may be hearing your case. Additionally, they will know which documents that the officer needs to present to prevail. Usually, if the officer brings all that is necessary, the lawyer will be able to get you a withhold of adjudication which will save you points and insurance rate hikes. Good luck.
