Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

I got a ticket for high speed, the police said that I was speeding 108 and I went to court on May 20 for that problem. Once I was in the court, the judge asked me if I was guilty or not, I declared myself guilty with explanation. I wasn't sure if my speed was 108, so I asked a friend if polices do mistakes when checking the speed, and my friend told me that they sometimes do, here is the question; can I still appeal and ask the judge to call the police and show if his little checker was ok?

You plead guilty. The time to ask for a trial and get to cross examine the police about their "little checker" (I can only assume you mean their radar???) has passed. The way to challenge the evidence is through trial, not by you introducing a hearsay statement of a friend if in their opinion police make mistakes.

Once you said guilty, your case was essentially over.
