[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 6684768, member: 5905"] Sounds to me like you may have a reasonable expectation to get it tossed or reduced. it will take some preparation on your part however ... here is what I see as your choices: 1. easiest ... pay it and get it done ... if you have a 25 year clean record it will not hurt you much if at all 2. next easiest but shortest - Plead not guilty, explain what you have here (without comment on the LEOs attitude or anything of that nature) and hope the judge, based on your record, cuts you a break. I would say it is Likely if you have been totally honest here. 3. what I would do if I wanted to take the long way about it: 1. go back to the scene and take a picture from HIS vantage point i.e. where his car was parked looking towards where you were coming from. and again from where your car was when you saw him. 2. make up a board showing the road from some distance behind your car and his so the court can get an accurate picture of the circumstances. make sure distances are accurate and the curve is shown. 3. Go to court and tell your story. ask the officer if your drawing is accurate, then ask him to point out where he was standing when he determined your speed. check your pictures and if it causes you any doubt that he actually saw you when he said he did bring it up. 4. you could also ask him how many tickets he issues in say the past year, and how many of those were based on his visual estimation. you might then ask how long it has been since he has had his "visual estimation" ability checked for accuracy. 5. then make your case .. like you made it here regarding your speed and your cruise. Frankly I would use option 2. I understand you not wanting to be found guilty because you're not but it comes down to his word against yours and the judge being willing to cut you some slack. A lawyer could probably get you off but dayum ... is it realy worth it? [/QUOTE]
