    young kid + obviously too nice of a car = police and public harassment.

    get used to being pulled over for bs. it comes with the territory.

    in all seriousness though my family has won traffic violation cases against police officers because there were three or four people in the vehicle to testify. tell the court and pay the money to subpoena your three friends and odds are nothing will materialize. if you do go to court, ask the gentleman how he caught up to you if you were going so fast, and then ask that he be served the same ticket.

    If you were to ask that question the first thing they would say is...."thats irrelevant."

    It's not hard to catch up to someone while going the speed limit.

          i was speaking from experience if you read what i posted. my family has won several against an on duty cop who issued the citation. if i knew how to type slower and enunciate via the web i would.... i was there. i saw it happen. we won. so obviously its possible.

            i read, and understood what you were saying, I was just giving my opinion.

            Apparently your family ran into some pretty stupid cops who tried to lie about what actually happened then..

            I've taken numerous traffic tickets to court some with more than enough evidence to prove that i wasnt guilty and i still lost.

                        LOL...that almost makes sense..

                        I could make an immature statement like you, but i'll refrain from doing so.

                        YOU WIN 🙂

                              A police officer can. They are trained to estimate the speed and make that judgment call.

                              Stop driving like an asshole if you do not want to deal with traffic citations.

                                Kind of like that kid who got his ticket thrown out when a helicopter cop "judged" his speed based on those distance markers.

                                  What does your driving record look like? If this guy called you in, you more than likely did do some sort of "reckless driving". It doesnt help that your a young kid driving a nice car, but random old guys don't usually pick out a random guy driving and decide. "HEY I'M GONNA GET GIT THAT DUDE A TICKET!".
                                  3 or 4 years ago, I called a lady in for reckless driving as she was speeding and swerving through traffic in her GTP on main in WF with a child in the backseat going 75-80. When It came to court, she denied it, they looked at her rapsheet, and charged her with reckless driving, along with almost getting child endangerment(almost lost her kid). Point is, the court is not stupid. If the judge doesn't like you, he will find you guilty. I'm sure you could appeal it afterwards and get it dropped, but I would do your homework before you show up, and hope you dont have many traffic violations.

                                  no race car? becuz homeowner...

                                    You mean the dude that got that ticket a couple years ago for like 265mph on I35 while on his HC51?

                                      Bah, I lost in court because of that. Now, they didn't write down a specific speed but I still lost that one.

                                        You did jury duty. Who cares? So have I. Jury duty does not mean you know everything about the law. Jury duty means you were just some underpaid person who sat in a chair and listened to some lawyer say some BS and you went into a room with some other people and stared at each other while someone else made the decision for the group.

                                          School zone speed limits are 20 mph when the lights are flashing and/or when children are present.

                                          So at the lower end of your estimate, you were doing 15 over the limit in a school zone? Hmm... I don't see where a ticket is warranted at all.
