has anyone in here got a moving violation for speeding cuz the pig couldnt clock them or pace them so by looking he guessed i was speeding will this bullshit of a ticket hold up in court if i fight it?

 

try the search feature there is alot of topics about exact stuff like this!

 

go to court and ask for proof of his certified eyeball gun. I say it's B.S. what was the actual statute number on the ticket?

 

the statute number is section 3/6.07 and sub section 4 thats what he wrote ...... he was sitting in a parking lot i made a u turn about a block down from him heading w towards him and i maybe got up to 50-55 tops but he told me i was doinf 75 which is impossible i think .... i think he just heard my exhaust his gave himn the idea that i was on the gas cuz its loud.

after reading the statue it looks like he wrote you up for being a traffic control device that approximately conforms to an authorized device. WTF I'd say go to court with a print out of the statute and ask the judge what it was that you got a ticket for? if he was trying to say you weren't obeying the speed limit sign (since it is a traffic control device) you need to know what certifed tool he used to determine you were speeding. also if you were the only car in the immediate area then he can't compare your speed to the surrounding traffic. Also find out (actually go back to the location and measure) the distance from the spot you did the u-turn to where he was sitting. Then post on here or find out who can help you with the math of taking the vehicle weight, distance traveled, and both the speed limit and the speed he said you were going. you are basically going to find out the acceleration needed to get up to that speed in the distance traveled, then use the acceleration to figure with the weight of the car to see how much force you need to accomplish that, then convert that force into hp/tq, do that with both speeds, if you were driving heavy footed the math should prove that your car is too weak to do what the cop is claiming. Don't bring all this out in court unless it is looking like the judge is going to side with the cop. If the math doesn't work, throw away the answer. Also if the cop wrote/checked off speeding and then wrote the statute for the traffic control device he wrote the wrong statute and yo should be in the clear for that.

 

 

^^read, he says he wasn't speeding. It'd be different if he said he was speeding but wanted to get out of it on a technicality. what your saying is when a cop arrests you for smoking pot but you weren't and a piss test proves it, it's still your fault don't blame the dumb cop for being a dick. could he be lying about not speeding, sure, but taking it on face value and assuming what he is saying is true, help him out. next time it may be you getting this cop and being written up for a modified exhaust when you know it is stock, except for the big autozone tip that you bolted on.

 

Possibly, but I have my own opinions and prejudgement
