Can I ask to review the evidence in my speeding ticket case?

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?
