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” |

That is not really true you can get a ticket with out a radar gun. In this case the cop has to pace your speed a distance behind you but the catch is, he has to do this within a two mile zone. If you are speeding and he has paced your speed for the two miles you can get a ticket . But if he has not paced you for the 2 miles he has nothing to stand on. How do I know this you ask....I have been pulled over 3 times for speeding and every time i have taken the cop to court and won. Around here we have arrogant cops that will pull you over just because you are a kid and have a fixed up car. I hve been pulled over for tint. for my body kit(soposidly it's illegal to have a body kit on your car around here), and for having my high school tassle hanging from my rear view mirror. Anyhow back to the topic...I would most definitly take this to the judge...the cop has nothing to stand on also....one question did the cop turn on his lights when he pulled you overor came up to you in the parking lot? If not make it clear to the judge that he didn't show any sign of pulling you over untill he walked up to you and asked for your liscence.
okay...sorry about the spelling it's 2 am so give me some credit... Later -Christina O...and good luck |
