In this particular case, I'm just pissed because I think the best option is for me to plead guilty to something I didnt do... issue of principal... I'll be the first to admit when Ive made a mistake but there is no other word for this ticket but "bogus."  He might as well have clocked my shopping cart in a grocery store parking lot at 45MPH.  

and with jammers the next time you pass a cop lasering people who gives you a filthly look ... well that feeling is priceless :D . I rarely speed, I drive a big fat diesel 4wd, which is not inclined to speed.  However having fitted the jammers ironically saved me from a couple of more severe tickets (ie 140km/h on a 100km/h stretch of motorway at 3am in the morning with no traffic for miles).

Mazz, if you don't want to do the lawyer routine, this is the best I've found in my state.
          v                                 v                             v                            v

  Here, where I live you can make a appointment and see the DA.

Called an informal pre-trial conference.

Don't go in on the muscle or expressing righteous indignation while castigating the cop, the ADA does not care, he knows why you are there as you do, to avoid the points, be prepared to pay the fine.

Worked for a customer ( sorry don't know all the details ) He says all he ever did for speeding tickets is get the court date and keep postponing after a certain amount of time the ticket goes away. He said He never paid a ticket and gets them all the time. Sounds like BS but might be some truth in it.

I got stopped on a military base, when the mp said how fast I was going i said ya right did you lock my speed in your radar gun. He said get out and come with me. took me over to his cruiser and pointed to his fancy gun with my speed still on the screen. Anyway I got a ticket opt to paid which has to be sent to a processing center in Atlanta. It got lost YAY for me no one ever notified me. Anyway I walk into my church on Sunday an one of the guys that passed the plate says hey Dan there is a warrant :D issued for your arrest for non payment of ticket. I said there is no way I gave him the whole story and how I sent it to Atlanta. He says I see what I can do. Next sunday He said Its taken care of. He got the judge to dropped the ticket waive the fees and everything. LOL anyway they can do it if they want to. But it was pure luck that i new the guy. I think he was the bailiff of the court.
