Re: Tickets - who has expereince, need advice

I have never gone to the judge, usually just dealt with the hearing officer person.

I just got one on the way back from from NOLA, 87 in a 70 i think. I was so tired I didn't care esp. since I was dead tired and doing 90 since we started.

But looking back i should of asked to see the radar and such, from what I've been told they take 2-3 reads before it locks so usually its just their word vs. yours.
The officer told me he clocked me initally going 87 but then i jammed the brakes pretty hard, he was impressed.

Anywho, go fight it so it doesn't go on your insurance. If it's close, I was pulled over in Stearns county i think, whatever shithole is in control of owatonna area.

This is wrong and cops are not required to "lock" your speed on the radar unit. A cop can write a citation for the highest speed they see on the radar as they are monitoring your speed.

And what is up with wanting to see your speed on the radar? A cop is not going to falsify a ticket just so he can give you a higher ticket, he/she would be risking their job just to give you a ticket.
