I ask what he used to clock my speed and if I could see it and he just said "no". Dumb bastard couldn't have clocked me at all, just esimated. And his estimation is piss poor. I'll take the ticket for 10 over (but who really tickets someone for 10 over while they're clearly passing traffic to get away from it?), that's fair. But 20 over when there's no way I was doing that? BS. Still waiting on my court date...

They're using me as revenue generation. I was out of state and they probably figured I wouldn't fight it and would just pay. They've got another things comin'.
you can actually fight it. If he can't prove it, most likely you will win.
