You might stand a better chance if it was a typical NYPD patrol officer, as they are probably less experienced with such specialized violations and in testifying on said violation at court, as a dedicated highway patrol cop.

I never really rolled the dice a patrol cop issued speeding ticket before, however, from what I understand, to be able to issue speeding violations in NYC, the cops must certify that he/she can “visually estimate” a vehicle’s speed of travel and operating a radar/laser measuring device. So if a patrol cop did indeed issued the summon, I assume he had the proper credentials.
