I've fought one of these tickets, and it is very difficult as you say. I won, but in a way I consider sleazy. I plead non-guilty, and used an attorney(this is so, so, so important) who had the radar device brought into court. Once the device was present, the attorney entered a litany of requests:
1) Proof of the officers initial training with the device
2) Proof of the officers required continued training with the device
3) Proof of device's regular scheduled maintenance
4) Proof of training(initial and continued) of the person(s) who performed said maintenance
They got as far as item #2, couldn't provide it, and folded. I paid my attorney roughly the same cost I would have paid the court. Any "savings" would be the increase in my insurance costs that never happened.
If you can't afford an attorney, you are screwed. The "system" is about generating municipal income, not keeping anyone safe on the roads.
