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” |

you all have to keep in mind when posting that every state has dif laws dif cops and dif reactions. On a norm time i drive 10-15 over, just because thats how most drive. I have had cops come up behind me when im doing 75-80 on a 55 and just look at me then keep going. Thats norm for me in md atleast in annapolis.
Also all cops will give you dif reasons or "rules" or laws. Best thing is go to court. You might get off with nothing, or you might get one point an a small fine. I have been pulled maybe 10 times, most was in my old car dodge daytona with stripes. cops loved that thing out of all those times I got one ticket, because i knew i was speeding but didnt know how fast. My speedo didnt work, but i knew i was doing around 90 or so in a 55, he wrote 84 in 55, i got off with one point an a $200 fine. |
