pulled over for driving an M3
i was driving 30mph in a 25mph zone the other night and a cop pulled me over. he was parked facing the opposite direction at a stop sign intersection and after i fully stopped and proceeded, he made a U turn and pulled me over after following me for a block (300-400ft). he claimed i was going 40 in a 25. i don't know the point of the thread... just a victim of an injustice venting.

Fight that ish.
Senior citizen couple in Ontario got a ticket recently for driving while using a cellphone....despite the fact that neither of them have ever owned a cell phone. Every precinct in every jurisdiction has quotas....don't let'em get away with it. |

Set court date.
Go to court. If no radar/lidar - go home happy (no foundation (proof)) If supposed radar/lidar reading exists - ask judge for a charging instrument - go home happy. (of course this requires that you don't enter a plea of any kind during the initial arraignment... you'll have to do a bit of homework here regarding contracting with the court and waiving certain rights etc.) The end. |

depending on how reasonable the judge feels, even if you were driving 5mph over, it's still speeding by the books. Sucks that you have to waste half a day to go to court over this.

I have had few speeding tickets but those I have I gave to my attorney. 300 bucks and it goes away without wasting a chunk of the day in court. I don't know what they (attorneys) do but he said the basic concept is these minor tickets are revenue generation and he makes it so that the costs would exceed the payoff and they drop it. Business is business.

So do your research first to find out the local laws were you live and hire good lawyer that specialize in speeding tkts a lot of times they can get tkt moved to non moving violation no points just fine or if that fails a reduction on the points good luck. |

I was actually pulled over in Nashville for speeding many years back in my Ford Bronco. The cop came up to the car and asked for my license and insurance. At the time, I had an expired Texas lic but with my mil ID it was still valid. I gave him everything and when he saw the mil ID he smiled, told me to slow down because going 56 in a 55 was frowned upon in his city, and he let me go...
