ok...heres the story
I got two tix in about 2 weeks.
1 I can go to traffic school.
The 2nd though, all I have to lose in fighting it is the time. And since I sit around at work all day doing nothing, it's no problem to not be in most of the time. And I'd still get paid for the time at the court.
Here's what happened with the 2nd. I was taking a freeway eastbound transition to another south. He was sittin down the 2nd's shoulder about 1/4 mile south of the transition, but he couldn't see the ramp, or me until about 1/8 mile past the ramp. He said 81 in the 65. I say that to go 81 on that transition would be pretty tough in most cars. (that might be kind of a gamble if they will ask..well what kind of car was it?)
So now I'm learning anything I can about this. I found I have the right to all the evidence that the prosecutor has.
The right to radar manuals (if radar involved) for operating temps, things that interfere with etc.
The records of the cops recent training..is he up to date?
Have traffic studies been done on the area in past 5 years? No, than the speed limit can be unsafe.
etc.
The worst that could happen is I pay the same fine, and some minor court fees and learn about the courts for the next ticket to come.
The best is I walk away with some cop crying like a baby in front of the court, and all the other people watching the trial start cheering and all the women....well, maybe a pipe dream...but you never know:smoka:
