Whilst I agree with your sentiment; The Pro Laser 3 is used in the UK extensively. It has a range limit which has by GYKD's account been exceeded, incidentally IIRC in several other countries the Prolaser 3 has been ruled as unsitable for speed measurement on bikes as the target area is insufficient.
GYKD has every right to fight his case, the fact that he is possibly the biggest prat in the world does not diminish that right whatso ever.
Having said all that his chances of winning infront of the magistrates is miniscule so he will need very deep pockets to fight as he will have to pay up front for re[presentation all the way to appeal if his argument is to be heard. Having said that if he engages the right solicitor/barristor and they make it clear that his case will be taken to appeal the CPS may capitulate under the guise that the prosecution is not in the public interest, in other words a precident could be set that they would not like.
Now as to the attempt to evade them, big mistake as now if he does fight they will make reference to that in their evidence.
