Is there anything I can do to contest it?

They were not stationary, does that affect anything? Are they allowed to use the radar calculations even though they were moving in the opposite direction?

Also, how much is a speeding ticket? I was going 34 in a 25, in California

Thank you
I’m sorry I’ve never seen a moving radar before, usually cops just post up somewhere and gun people down. I was only wondering because I know that doppler radar has a margin for error, and I was wondering if it increased to a significant degree when you add the speed of their vehicle going in the opposite direction.

I am wondering if in Washington State, when officers are lying in wait to radar motorists for speeding, if they must be in the line of sight of the driver, or if they can be hidden. I was issued a speeding ticket by a motorcycle officer, who was hidden behind trees off to the side of the road. I have been searching and searching and searching online and I cannot find out whether or not this is legal, and even worth using as a legitimate reason to fight my ticket. (5 ouch!) Please keep in mind that this takes place in Washington State, and it would be very helpful if you could give me a link to the information.

i got a "speeding ticket" by going 50 on the street. i know i wasn’t going 50 so after showing insurance and stuff i asked the cop to show me the radar gun. he said ok but never did. i want to fight this ticket but i don’t think i will win because its his word against mine. but i heard that they cant give you a ticket using the radar gun unless there is a sign posted somewhere saying radar enforced or something. Is that true? I always see the cops in motorcycles on that street all the time and ive never seen a sign. and by the way this is in california.

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?

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar trap. A 0.00 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of 0.00. They responded with a mailed photo of handcuffs.

A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the motorcycle officer walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said "I BET YOU ARE GOING TO SELL ME A TICKET TO THE MOTORCYCLE COP’S BALL". He replied with "MOTORCYCLE COPS DON’T HAVE BALLS". There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realised what he’d just said. He then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car for several minutes.

Joe was a rather stupid person. But he wanted to impress his wife, so he took her out for an anniversary dinner and watched the couples around them, following their leads.
ok:
He observed the couple next to him. The man lifted a sugar shaker towards his wife’s cup and said, "Sugar, sugar?" Joe thought this was great and continued to listen around the dining room.

Another table over Joe observed the following. A man spooned out some honey out of a bowl for his wife and asked, "Honey, honey?"

Again Joe thought this was good stuff.

Finally, he cut off a piece of his meat, stared longingly into his young wife’s eyes and said, "Ham, pig?"
she got fed up kicked him and left.

A policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn’t nabbing any. Then, he discovered the problem – a 10 year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road in the other direction with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of change.

I bought a whistler xtr-255 and the symbols on it are X, K, Ka, and V…when i looked in the user manual, all it says is "X will light when an X band is noticed"…well no shhh…I’ve tried looking on the net to find out and apparently all i’ve heard is that they are the different bands…so let me rephrase the question…

I bought this detector so i don’t get a speeding ticket…which light do i need to slow down on when it lights up?

My husband was riding a motorcycle with his friend and they both got exact same speeding ticket, 30 over the speed limit. They were riding in a same lane but not side by side (they were going 90 so riding side by side is not safe). When my husband asked cop which bike did he clocked, cop told him that they were riding side by side, and that’s why they’re getting the same ticket. Oh, and cop gave them that excuse that he pulled them over and giving them a ticket for safety. That’s bunch of bull. Can radar gun clock two motorcycles at the same time? BTW, we live in TX.
BTW, they were by themselves on the road, so no danger to anyone else. My husband owns a radar gun, and we know that it will clock only fastest or the biggest object headed toward you. They are not unsafe riders. Proud to say no accidents, except for colliding with bugs

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?

im thinking of purchasing a police radar detector and jammer(if even possible) to make it to where i will never get a speeding ticket… has anyone ever had one and know if they really work as good as they say they do? also some of my buddies tell me they are a manufacturer that sells them that offers a plan to where if u do get a ticket while using their product they will pay for ur ticket… is that true? im sort of spectacle because i tryed shopping for them on my own and i seen how they would list out what all things they pick up but i dont know what the police use around here so i cant go by that… i just need something that will guarantee i wont get caught for speeding ever again
also how do they work for u? if they tell u when one is within range wouldnt that mean it would already be too late? if they were in range that is…. im just skeptical of the whole thing… i want one and i would rather spend a few hundred on one to save me from tickets and higher insurance… idk just what would be the process? when u get the alert slow the hell down?
ohh and for people like shnoel or whatever her name was… screw emmissions… i dont care about that crap… when im late for work or school im gonna go fast… when im not late… im still gonna be goin fast but not too fast… atleast im not driving a hummer… so if ur like the person i mentioned above… go to another save the environment protest and leave me alone if u have nothing to input about radar jammers and detectors… with tickets like… 83 in a 35 and 124 in a 70…. i cant hardly afford my insurance i need something pretty bad

I’m trying to figure out what radar to purchase. Today I got a speeding ticket and my current 8500 x50 didn’t do go off at all.
The cop was using an Ultralyte Laser in "stealth" mode which my current radar detector apparently won’t pick up. I understand by the time you get LASERed it’s already too late, that’s why I’m also going to purchase a jamming kit too.
What would you say is the best radar detector and jammer combination to buy? Or help with either would be great, I’m currently thinking about the V1 or 9500i for the detector and Laser Interceptor or Blinder.
Also does anybody know how well the Escort ZR4 or SR7 work together?
I drive a manual 2007 Lexus IS 250: http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z74/iamericm/sig-1.jpg, it’s pretty low profile, today was the first day in a while I had gotten pulled over in about 10,000 miles.
and orclover I wish I could down vote you for posting a completely irrelevant reply. If i wanted you’re opinion I would’ve posted "orclover please tell me what you think about my driving habits"
