Speeding Ticket

[Allak]

An officer told me i was doing 88 in a 65 and gave me ticket. When i looked at the ticket it said i was doing 68 in a 65 so i have a couple of questions.

1. Can i get off because the officer wrote the wrong thing down?
2. He tagged me with a lazer and i drive a real small car is it possible he tagged someone around me and didnt realize it because there were some large trucks around me?

I really dont think i was doing 88mph maybe 75

I'd imagine if he 'told' you that you were driving 88, and wrote down 68, regardless of what he told you, the ticket still says you were speeding, albeit not as fast as he said. Regardless, you admitted to speeding, got pulled over, why whine about it? That's why they have those 'patrolled by radar' signs under the speed limit signs. Do the limit, or try not getting pulled over. IF you do, accept the fact you screwed yourself over, suck it up.

Just my .02.

The judge won't dismiss the ticket for that type of error.

READ the Bck of your ticket... it's all well explained how to contest!!!!

You don't need our help..... you have two choice

1-Pay the fine and move on!!!!

2- Spend hours fighting it.... when you perfectly know what you did.

There is been a lot of thread like yours.... please read them all before posting.... you case have nothing spectacular or special .... You speed .... you assume it or fight it !!!!

READ, READ READ (the back of you ticket)!:D

DUDE! Do the math...

He said you were doing 88 in a 65. He wrote you for 68 in a 65. He gave you a HUGE break!! Around here more than 20 over (you were 23) will get you a "Reckless Operation" charge and a much bigger find, more points, bigger insurance surcharge.

By writing you up for 68 (3 over) you probably won't even get any points, and you may be eligible for traffic school or other alternative sentencing that could keep the ticket off your record and off your insurance.

Hold the ticket up in the air, read the officer's name and say out loud "Thank you officer xxxxx" because he saved you hundreds of dollars in fines and insurance surcharges. If you try to fight it then the officer will amend the ticket back to 88mph and you learn very quickly how much of a break he tried to give you.

Also, laser is a very tight beam, and the training covers the scenario you suggested. (The range is probably listed on the ticket). To say that the officer actually scanned the car next to you you would have to accuse the officer of being either malicious or hideously incompetent. No cop is gonna risk their career or credibility on a fake speeding charge - there's too many real speeder out there!

You already admitted you were doing 75! You should accept the 68 with a smile, a whistle and a spring in your step.

Now go pay the ticket.

Cop pulls over a motorist on the side of the highway. Walks up to they guy and says...
- "I have good news for you, you're getting a ticket".
