Radar or not RCMP members are trained in vehicle speed estimation and they're word and judgment holds up in court. Luckily he reduced the fine which is why no speed was written on the ticket.
Well, as
jocko2 said, people make mistakes all the time. I've successfully argued against tickets from "veteran" cops. There was one time the judge even gave a verbal lashing to a "veteran" for sloppiness. Some cops don't even bother to show up when they realize they've filled out their ticket incorrectly. Sometimes, cops plea-bargain outside the courtroom themselves.
