How can I request evidence for my speeding ticket?

Full question:

I am representing myself for a speeding ticket and would like to request evidence such as any media documenting the event such as video (analog or digital) that shows the vehicle and speed. Also, radar calibration, officer training on radar and equipment used to document the event and date of officer last vision test prior to issuing the ticket. So my question: 1. What is the right way to say I want the documents? 2. May I request the officers vision test results? 3. Are there any vision tests specific to the evening I may request?

Answer:

To request evidence, you can submit a formal discovery request. This request should specify the documents you want, such as video footage, radar calibration records, and details about the officer's training and vision test. The standard for discovery is whether the information could lead to admissible evidence. Regarding the officer's vision test results, you may request them, as they can be relevant to the case. However, specific vision tests conducted on the evening of the incident may not be available unless they were documented.
