Contest a speeding ticket?
I need help. I was pulled over by an officer on a motorcycle. That time i was making a left turn and i was shifting from gear 2 to gear 3 on my prelude. from gear 2 the rpm was in 4500-5000. i saw a police officer on my right side maybe 50 ft ahead. he was going to make a right turn. so once i got up to 4500-5000, the cop seen me. i shifted gear, and next thing i know blue and red lights begin to flash. OK here is the info. i was doing around 53 MPH!!! he put 60+ on my ticket. and he made me sign it. he didnt ask me to sign it. he informed me that i have to sign. So i did, and i went on. The area i was doing 53 in, was a 45mph area. HE DIDNT HAVE A RADAR. He asked me my approximate speed, i told him around 45-50. He told me Bull Shit and gave me a ticket. He told me if i told him the truth, i would get away with it. I have the court in January 2009. I am hoping for some advices please! What is the best way to contest my speeding ticket in the court?
Advise for challenging a traffic citation.?
We were 15 minutes into Reno, Nevada passing through the downtown area when my dear sister received a traffic citation for driving 30 in a 15mph zone. Only one car was ahead of her that separated me in the front. She was following me as a I was the lead car of two. I watch in the rear view mirror as she was being pulled over and cited from beginning to end.
Earlier we passed a motorcycle police officer that had pull over other driver. While my sister was being cited, we saw other driver pulled over this time by a squad car.
The officer was both austere and condensing towards my sister who had believe it or not never received a traffic ticket.
Questions arouse my mind as to how long does a radar gun need to obtain a speed reading. Do police just need a split second to read? Do police officers who use radar gun wait for the highest reading?
Also, we were out of state at the time and cannot appear personally to challenge so my sister is stuck paying ticket. Advise
how do I fight this speeding ticket?…?
A police officer followed behind me on my motorcycle and pulled me over for doing 80 in a 60. He did not use a radar gun and has no physical proof other than his word. He simply checked his speed as he pull up close to me. How can I fight this? discovery?
speeding ticket?
I got a speeding ticket from a police officer in a car. How do they check your speed, I was on the freeway, doing 75 on a 65. I know motorcycle cops use radar, or laser, how about car cops?

I live in san jose california today i was driving through a intersection and a police officer was shooting radar down the blvd the gun looked like it had two lenses on either side i wasnt sure if he was playing around with this thing or what.There were three other officer besides him standing there maybe it was a training or they were setting up a speed trap.anyways i think i was going the speed limit maybe 3 or 4 miles over it i wasnt sure but they didnt pull me over,just wondering is this a photo radar gun i hope i dont get a ticket in the mail saying you were speeding,does anyone know if san jose police use a photo radar gun.These were motorcycle cops.
A couple of questions about radar detectors and laser jammers.?
How do Radar Guns work that they alert the Radar Detector ahead of time giving you a chance to slow down?
Is there any way you can get away with having a laser jammer in your car in a state it’s illegal in or will the police officer immediately know what’s going on the second his laser gives him Null results?
