Message: [QUOTE="oldguy, post: 253370, member: 16965"] My advice to this is pay attention to what you are doing when you are driving As far as fighting tickets every jurisdiction has different methods. If you are guilty (and from the posts each of you admit to be) it is prtetty hard to fight and win a dismissal. The notion that 80% of guns are not certified is rediculus. Evry dept has personel assigned to crertify the equipment on schedule- occasionally it will slip up but rarely. I have never lost on a speeding citation (over 1000 issued) that went to trial because of strict guidelines used to issue them. Your best bet is usually (in our jurisdiction at least) is to go to court, [B]Be courteous[/B] , and speak with the prosecuting attourney. It doesn't hurt to bewell groomed either:silly: (you would be amazed how some people come to court. Explain your situation with the edge that you would be willing to plead to a reduced charge. If you are 15 over you may get a defective speedometer. If you are 30 over your chances are less but in order to save a trial you may be able to get it reduced to a lower point value but keep the fine. as I said every jurisdiction and often each court veiw this differently. Also YZKID those DAMN Maryland cops never encouraged you to put your foot down that was [B]YOUR[/B] choice:confused: [/QUOTE]
