I was cited doing 37 in a 25 with radar and beat the ticket. I am sure all states are different but here in California you can plead not guilty by written declaration and provide the details of your side of the story. In my case I provided google maps overhead photos showing the road and the nearest houses etc. Supplied photos of the road from where I was when pulled over and from where the cop was with the radar.
Basically using the basic speed law as a defense - again a California concept. I also noted that unless the police department can provide a recent survey of the road they may in fact have been using an illegal speed trap.
Also challenge the police to provide documentation regarding the calibration of the radar unit.
I found an on line resource that basically provided the "template" for the declaration.
I posted the bail and submitted the declaration and in about 60 days I received notice that the police dept would not challenge my declaration - and cashiers check refund on my bail.

If you like I can try and find a copy of my declaration - again it is based on California law so it may not be applicable.
