I was on the jury for a radar speeding case which the judge threw out
because the county did not bring in its FCC license for the radar.

They had the license but had gotten sloppy about bringing it into
court when the law required them to do so.

Judges tend to be prejudiced in favor of one thing: Making The System
Work.  That means making everybody on both sides play by all the rules
and not waste time.  And this often works in the defendant's favor.
