Politely asking to see the RADAR readout would not only have gone against his chances by calling into question the officer's integrity, but it's also prohibited in many states because of the risks associated with getting a motorist out of their vehicle and having them walk back to the officer's vehicle with traffic going by, etc. Besides, a lot of places permit the officer to cite for the "highest observed speed" and not necessarily what he "locked in" on the RADAR.
BTW, this is just another example of what I've been saying all along. He had tinted windows and although unintentional, he alleviated the threat that the officer percieves by having them down. How about this, the next time one of you gets pulled over for a "reasonable" infraction, try placing your hands clearly in the car, preferably on the window ledge of your open driver's side window until the officer approaches and take careful instruction from him/her when they ask for license, registration and proof of insurance. I can damn near guarantee that you will get out of the ticket just on that action alone.
My windows were down the whole time I was driving. It's summer and I kept my windows down, so he'd have no clue that I had the fronts tinted.
I wasn't moving around or anything I sat still.
