I was caught by a police radar which claimed that I was going 65 MPH.
My speed was 55 MPH.  I think that something was wrong with the radar,
so I want to challenge the policeman in court.

Can someone please post a list of things that can wrong with a radar?
(I want to ask the policeman if he is absolutly sure that his radar
was OK, and then ask him to
explain to me why cannot all the things on the list happen).

Can someone post, in addition, what went wrong with the radar of the ship
that has shot down the Iranian airliner?
(I want to ask the policeman how comes his radar cannot make any mistakes,
when the radar of a very expensive warship has made them.)

Thanks
