Are police officers allowed to just drive around with their radar on
Some do all the time

It seems impossible to estimate and then take reading travelling at night in the opposite direction.

You would be correct, how are you going to prove it?

Also a quick question, I really want to go through court transcripts for simmilar cases, how can I ...

you said 80-85......15 over ticket is way better then following to close IMHO. See if you can appeal, you may need paid expertise though
