Lacking proof that it was recently calibrated, the policeman should not be using it as "proof" that someone was speeding.
We're not talking about "a" car -- we are talking about a cop car. A calibrated speedometer is a standard component of police packages.

As to your point about whether it was recently calibrated, that's a different issue.
