First off, I KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING, AND I DON'T NEED ANY OF YOUR RANTS.
Alright, with that out of the way, I was following a truck up the hill, and I look up the hill aways and there's a bunch of state cops sitting out side there cars. I look right at my spedo right away, and i'm doing exactly 39 (i usually never go over 40). The state cop pulls out to follow me, I pull into the parking lot of the highschool and park. Here's where it gets interesting, when I get out of my car, acting like I never saw him, he was already walking to my door. He said I was speeding and he needed my driver's licence. So I gave it to him naturally, and he came back with a ticket. He said I was doing 41 in a 30. This is where I said "out of courtesy officer, may I see my speed on the speed radar." HE REPLIED, I DON'T HAVE IT. I then asked "how can you give me a ticket if you don't have my speed on the radar gun?" He said "he knew i was going 41" Walked back to his car, and got on in. So, what can my lawyer do about this, and was there a problem here with this cop? -------------------- The most important lesson I learned from Karate-Dō Kyōshan – “You can not be what you do not believe you are” |

Absolutely not. You have nothing to lose by fighting a ticket. It is expected that you plead not guilty. Just pleading guilty and taking what you get is completely the wrong thing to do.
