i always fight tickets...no matter what...every now and then ive had them dismissed..my greatest victory was having a 30+ ticket dismissed because the cop didnt show up...
Care to elaborate on this topic?Fight it.
If I know I got caught using RADAR, the first question I'd be asking the ticketing officer would be if he's familiar with ghost readings. And he's screwed.
I do have to agree...it was not one of my brighter moments...ouichghost readings - - they are the ektoplasma nuetrons remaing from ghosts laughing at characters that speed in front of police stations...
'innocent until proven guilty...' that being said, get a liar, i mean lawyer and have him fight it.

But Mike!...she was a virgin....:hihi:i used to always fight tickets, but eh, i've generally got more important things to do, as you do too Mark! I'd just pay it and move on, or hire a ticket attorney type of guy to do this for me, if i wanted to be a bastard. :M5launch:

A good number of cops are as crooked as crooks, I would fight it. They are also not very cerebral. Chances are he was probably high on coke at the time, like many officers and fire fighters usually are.I got popped for a ticket speeding in front of my local PD yesterday.
I came to complete stop next to the PD and turned left. I was accelerating in front of the PD parking lot with only one cruiser in the lot with it's nose pointing about 225 degrees to my line of travel. There was one person in street clothes on the sidewalk in front of the PD. I have no idea what speed I was going...
I am a mile and a half from the PD, when I see a police vehicle with his lights on heading towards me from my rear. It is a straight road, after a 90 degree turn from the PD. You can see for over 2 miles on this road...just farmland. At 2.1 miles from the PD, I pull over. The policeman makes some comment about the noise of my pipes. He claims that he hit me with radar. My V1 was on...and not a peep from it...ever...
He wrote me up for 10 mph over in a 35 which is one point in NV. He claimed the gun got me at 53-54 mph (written on ticket)... since when does a radar gun give variable readings?. We get 12 points a year and cannot even go to traffic school unless we have 3 points. I have not gotten a ticket in over 10 years...the fine is $130.
My question is...should I fight it or pay it. There is no way that the cop hit me with radar. I do not even know how he could of got me even if he was in his car. I would pay the fine if my V1 went off...
One more thing...I asked to see his radar gun...and it did say 53mph. Can they just not delete the speed from some other car? The radar gun looked like some kind of portable unit. It looked like a Makita rechargeable power drill with a half of a tan tennis ball where the drill chuck should be...
And you think cops go by the book and/or their training why???
