To cut a long story short, he failed and was fined + £3300 costs................

Sometimes you are best just to take the medicine and drive more slowly.
Would you take on the gamble of arguing against technology - he might have had more luck asking when the laser was last calibrated.

...he might have had more luck asking when the laser was last calibrated...
Or if the beam was straight. :)

I had a similar discussion with an engineer from the electricity board (it was a long time ago) who was trying to prove the power lines overhead weren't dangerous to our health. He had a field strength meter (?) and tried to prove there was greater electromagnetic radiation from a bedside clock than the power lines - I didn't let on too much that I knew the clock had a transformer and the power lines had only residual current passing through them.
I asked to see the current calibration certificate for his meter. He produced one, but when I asked to see if the serial numbers corroborated, they didn't.
The power lines were soon removed as they were in breach of law!
