Re: Speeding Ticket
Why didn't you ask to see the Radar gun to prove that it had registered 80MPH?
Maybe its not law there but in a real country where I live (Canada) we have a law stating that at any time you are allowed to request to see the reading on the Radar gun to show that it was you and you were infact going the speed that the douche bag stated. This helps to prevent them from screwing you by making it up... which many ass hole cops would do. Not all cops are pricks, but often the power goes to their heads and they become ridiculous. This has happend to a coupel friends that became cops.

I've actually had that happen to me twice, explained what happened in the courtroom twice and of course the judge threw out the case both times. However, I dont get why I pretty much proved that the officer was guilty of prejury and no one cared at all. my problem is far far more with the cops. I think most judges i have seen generally act reasonably fairly.

He pulls through median to pull me over, I had heard that you could ask to see the radar and I asked. He point blank told me no. This was FL Highway Patrol fwiw.
