Plus, you're not going to go poking around in my police car to look at the serial number of my radar unit, where not only is there valuable township property but my own personal property as well (Just like I'm not going to go into your home or workplace without a subpoena).

What you're going to do is hire a lawyer, who will subpoena all records about that car (When the speedo and/or radar were last calibrated, and all of that serial number stuff) as well as the officer (Radar certification). This is where The State has to support its burden of proof, NOT on the side of the ride. You ask to see the radar, you'll either get a polite 'no' or an angry cop who may write you more tickets.
