48mph in a 30mph

[out there]

perhaps contact someone in the office of the municipal court, or police department, and ask about this situation. it's part of driving a mildly flashy car and being a kid

I'd take it to court...i am pretty good friends with a cop here...he used to be in Fargo...and he would say take it to court...they HAVE to show you the Radar...if you are in Busy traffic and in a long line of cars all goin the same speed...They cant give you SHIT!...Take it to court!

[TonyTSi]

My friend Jeff got one down there a couple of weeks ago...maybe a month, but anyways, he hired "Dr. Radar" guys last name is Smetana, came out took some pics, pointd out like 15 reasons why the radar could be off.....going to court soon we will see how that looks.

i was keeping up with traffic if that helps any. I think it has to do with me being a kid, flashy car, loud exhaust, and loud music.

What exactly do they take pics of? How much does it cost?

If you plan on getting an attorney to fight that plan on spending around $1000 to beat it.

cheaper just to take the hit, even after calculating insurance most of the time.

IF you take a speeding Ticket to court..no matter what you have to pay..for an attorney and everything...they have to pay for everytihng...you spend 1000 on a attourney to win...they have to pay..not you...otherwise nothing would ever get taken to court.

[PSI2HI]

Also if you dont win you'll have court/administration fee's which are usually about $250 to pay for.

i got pulled over going supposedly 40 in a 30 while i was goin under 30..i lost in court, there was shit in the way of his radar...just snowed..goin around a turn...good luck

I don't know if this will help ,but when I got my minor if I would have taken it to court. It would have cost $200 in court fee's.

If your lucky the cop will not show up and you will win.

[Guest]

So...go shoot the cop..and he wont show up!

[Guest]

I'd have to say that is not good legal advice....

Haha, i've had it happen where the cop didn't show up, so they called him and we sat there till he showed up, so that theory doesn't exactly work.

I had a freind who decided to fight a losing battle ( Fighting a 3rd minor ) his cop's mother died and could not come, so he won.

Thats quite the drastic change in the scenario and a once in a life time chanceof that happening again.

[Bryce]

Yeah he got very lucky, it was a joke responce I hope harwood does not decide to try this.

[STiSchucky]

not really lucky...i think i woulda rather paid the fine then have the cop lose his mother.

Lucky for the kid, unlucky for the cop. Unless he hated his mother. Or secretly killed her.

[out there]

ok, the biggest argument you have: how could you be going 48 when traffic was going 35 and you were just keeping up with traffic?

[King Ricer]

i would just pay the ticket and not waist the time to go to court. i've been through this many time and it's really not worth fighting it. my .02
