Sorry to hear that, Jason. But cop cars have built in radars, I think. Some people I know got slammed with a ticket at CSUS because the cop car picked their speeding up with their 360 degree radar (from what others told him).
Also, they're going to tell you that speeding is speeding, no matter if you're doing 1 mph over or 100 mph over. Some cops don't care, and others do. |

Either way i think the best thing is to just take traffic school once the ticket comes in the mail. I am just hoping the fine isnt too high. I heard the fine is lower the smaller amount you are over the limit and increases incremental depending on how fast your going so mine should be the lowest possible fine i would hope.

You live in a quasi-communist state. What could you possibly expect to be different? On that note, rest assured, that sort of ticket would be thrown out in short order around here. And oh. Don't ever, I repeat, EVER tell a judge "my opinion is"... You will only unleash his wrath on yourself... |

I think you just won the law enforcement lottery.
Best thing to do is plead not guilty, and at the "pre-trial" conference arrange a plea. Usually with speeding though, they'll just lower the "amount over", i.e. if you were ticketed for 10-15 mph over the limit, you might get reduced to 1-10, which is a lower fine. Pulling someone over also has a psychological effect on the other drivers... more like "I'd better slow down, they're giving out summons" |

In my opinion, everybody who's got an opinion that the existing speed limits aren't reasonable should express that opinion to their legislators. State, city, and Federal, depending on the roads in question. I think some of them are way too slow, but I obey 'em anyway. I've fought the law, and the law won.
