The price I paid was for using ticketassassin's information, not for them to fight my case for me. It was a mere $25 for great info.

monkey, sign up on www.ticketassassin.com. You can get the forms yourself there. I don't think the guys there would appreciate me distributing their work. You can also pick up the CVC 40519 form at your local DMV...or was it the court house.

 

That sucks. I hope you win the case if you do decide to fight it

 

Will the written forms work in Texas?

 

She radared me I don't think she assumed she just lied

 

Considering your detector went off, that's a sure enough sign..however, I read somewhere that most states do NOT require the officer to show you their readout. It's totally up to them.

Makes your case a little stronger, but hardly a "win" scenerio.

Take a video camera with you and find one of those "Your Speed" mobile radars and video it showing the speed it shows vs your speedo to prove yours is accurate.
Write a letter and make point of the fact that she followed you for "this amount" of time before radaring "your detector went off" and you knew she was behind you and was making very sure of minding your speed.

If you have a good driving record, call that to the forefront about how you are safe and courteous.

If I can beat an exhibition of speed ticket in a small town, you can beat this

 

Take it to court. What a dick!

 

I'm not a lawyer but. . .

What's in the ticketassassin.com info includes a very valid point:

If the cop who pulled you over is a local/city cop, you have a fighting chance. Often times, the city will just give out the radar gun to any officer, but for the readouts to be admissible, the gun should be operated by an officer who is qualified to use it.

Simply ask for the officer's proof of training *IF* it's a local cop (state cops are trained from the get-go). Also, speed-by-sight needs to have certification as well. . . and don't hesitate to check for the margin of error in the training.

 

But it could be off by 10%... which at 45mph would make ~50mph.

If it was me, I'd have driven so that I was UNDER the speed limit on the dash.

She is probably sitting there saying YOU are the liar (which you kind of were...). Because you were not going 45mph like you say you were. It doesn't matter what your speedo says if it's not calibrated.

Anyone have the stats on the % off? ~15% would put you dangerously close to where a cop could "round up."

 

I hate it when I *accidentally* slide my car for a sec.

I really hate it when I *accidntally* slide my car for a sec when a cop is around.

I really, really hate it when I *accidentally* slide my car for a sec and get a ticket.


Hopefully you can get out of the ticket, but you bring a brighter target upon yourself when you do things to arouse suspicion. This is coming from someone who *purposely* slid his car out for a sec and got busted for it.

 

Question: was your intent to run her over with your bike or outrun a chopper or a flock of cop cars? Those tickets sure sound fishy, but you can thank your lucky star that you didn't see her on your bike.
