G2G 2 COURT, Need advice Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I got a ticket for "Unlawful Speed"(60MPH IN A 35MPH street) in Florida. The ticket says "Moving Radar #blablabla Opposite Direction". The cop was on a motorcycle coming my way and did a U-turn and got me. He said he wouldn't be appearing in court and that if I show up personally, they'll give me a lower price on the ticket and I won't get any points on my Driver's license and the insurance won't get a hold of it. I need to know what to say in court. This is my first time, I'm 18. I guess I'll go dressed professionally. My friend told me you don't really have to. Any suggestions on what I should say? I'm pleading not guilty since the cop won't be there. I read the other post on this type of thing but didn't find the exact thing I'm looking for. Is there anyway to say I wasn't speeding? I mean, what can I do? Thanks guys.

If I subpoena for him to be there, that would be another court date, right? would it also be a free trial again?

because in florida, i violated statute 316.189(2), which is that in a residencial or business district, the max speed is 30mph. the posted limit was 35. so im going to say i was going 30 since i was always told that was the speed in residencial/business areas. i like to be cautious and the officer pulled me over. this is the part where i say i dont know exactly how the radar works but i'm guessing there must've been some sort of mistake, maybe something interfered with it(powerlines, other cars near me, etc).

coom, at what point should i say i want to subpoena the officer to be there? i'm not sure exactly how that works.

that would be the dumbest thing you can say . .the judge will say I think a cop knows how to point a goddamn radar gun . . i mean seriously.

more believeable would be how can he be driving while shooting you while looking at his speedo while looking up the road and be 100% certain ?
