the cop was a real dick....i was going 78 in the right lane, and he pulls up behind me and lights me up a minute later (the V1 was in the BMW)....i pull over, he TOLD me i was doing 84....i said no, i was doing 78......he went on how he clocked me at 84...and i asked if i could see the gun.....he said he had erased it blah blah....i took the ticket and left....hopefully his gun was calibrated recently so i can get off on that....my dad is looking into it

 

[presto]

yea.....hopefully my dad will be able to drop the points, and all ill have to do is pay the fine. paying fines doesnt bother me, its the points on my license....

 

[SpeedsterBMW]

btw, the fine was $182, and i got 5 points (31+ mph over the limit and its 6 points, over 6 you get your license suspended for 3 months i believe?)

the V1 was in the bimmer, and plus this wasnt on a major highway...it was a 4 lane surface street where ive never seen state police patrol, since only state police can use radar in PA...im always looking for VASCAR....

 

[L337E46]

btw... which radar band did he hit you up with?

tickets.....man do they suck, i have had my share, 18 to be exact, and i got my 19th the other day, for not wearing my seatbelt, well nowadays its not what you know its who you know, i called my friend who was off duty from the same city pd and 15 min later the ticket was ripped up...

 

[fatty]

surely the courts carnt act upon just his WORD! they need physical proof, like a recorded speed on the gun or on a vasca unit.... if your 100% sure you were doing less than writen on the ticket then contest it as you may get off totaly....

[SoonerE39]

The fact he wouldn't let you see the speed because he "erased it" might be helpful. Good luck. At least you have free legal resources. :thumbs

actually they can. most of the time it's just their word vs yours. the judges have to believe the cops, unless its something completely outrageous, because if they didnt the cops really wouldnt have any authority.

Fatty, if you ever come to the US, I do recomend coming to Miami. You can get your pasty English skin tanned, and check out Active Autowerkes at the same time. I live about 45 min. from AA, pending on how heavy my foot is. I can also hook you up on hotel rooms at Marriots around the country, so let me know what you want to do.
