Tough break Chris.

In a way not surprising the judge supports the cop. What is surprising would be the premise that the cop measuring your speed, and neglecting to fill out the paperwork for your defense effort is a done deal. In this case you were guilty until proven innocent, radically against the precepts of law in the US or this side of the pond. A lawyer might have been able to make something of this.

Write it up in the newspaper if I were you, this is sloppy police work. If we lie down they will bury us with fines. This is a money harvesting mechanism more than it is a speeding deterrent these days.
