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 can get clocked going in the opposite direction and sometimes if you go to court and lose its worse than if you woulda just plead guilty in the first place. only fight if you absolutely know you are right

It will RARELY turn out to be worse, almost IMPOSSIBLE in fact, usually the prosecuter will offer you a plea bargain before your case gets heard, just to get it out of the way. Jay would know more tho. |
