I recieved a lidar ticket in champaign co. 79 in a 65. I believe the ticket is erroneous. I am searching for any info that may help prove my case. I already requested yearly lidar calibration docs. they have been completed. the unit was a Kustom pro laser 3 used at a distance of 1673 ft. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. Was there any other traffic at the time?

I was in the passing lane with 3 cars immediately in front of me, at least 2 behind, and a semi on my right with several cars imediately following in that lane as well.

Interesting how the ISP picked your car out of all those other cars.

Is your car a bright color (Arrest-Me Red? Safety Yellow?) or a "ticket magnet" model (Mustang, Evo, WRX)?

It is a white minivan. Not that that matters now. Case was dismissed, the officer didn't show for court. I was prepared to prove reasonable dought but i didn't need to do anything. There is a lesson, always contest the ticket you just might luck out, but just in case be prepared.
