dover Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Welp first 100 miles on the bike are always a good one. Got a 100 in a 65 today over in sweet speed trap at Easton on 270. It says he has me paced at 100 but I never saw him behind me. At most I was doing 75 because just before him I saw his buddy on a bike lasering people so I slowed down. He than came roaring up on me with his lights on and I pulled over. He says he paced me doing 100 (bullshit). My court date is on the 26th. How good are my chances of fighting this and winning. I showed him my Mil ID and my Police card my mom gave me since she is a cop. Fucking highway partol can suck my dick. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. What is the find for 35 over anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have always hear anything over 20 mph over the speed limit is bad juju... no matter what the speed limit is. Good Luck.... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 IF he ONLY wrote you a speeding ticket, I would pay it and mark it up to all the times you did not get caught. I recently got "Paced" in my subbie. I was so pissed off, I was not speeding and I know for a fact I was not. my 2nd gear can't speed on the freeway. The cops rational was he had to go 80 to catch up to me. Well if your not moving and I can get to 60 in lets call it 5 seconds since I was already moving slowly. Your going to have to go quick to catch me. I gave the cop my FOP Card which is from my dad , He said he didn't care. To be honest I've slowly moved from the police are here to help to the police are here to justify there jobs by writing fucking tickets. I hate when I see some bitch cut me off or even worse almost run me off the fucking road on my bike and the cop who is 3 lanes over don't do shit BTW I know we have some cops on here and from what I've seen they are the cops who are not Traffic Nazi's.

Buck531 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Did you have a Yellow and black bike going south on 270 right around the Easton exit? I think it would have been around 8 am this morning. Saw someone pull over a bike like that and the driver was in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhett Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 If you were not going 100mph I would call the department like right and have them pull the video from the cruiser showing him pacing you doing 100mph since he did not show you the radar or laser.... and tell them you will be fighting it so you want them to bring the video to prove the 100 in a 65. But only if you were NOT doing 100 lol.... but this is what I would do seeing this as being my only shot at getting out of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 if its just speed then your best bet is to probably just pay up. If in fact they do prove it (most likely they were probably going a bit faster than you, despite what the camera in traffic looks like), your getting the book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Do yourself a favor and go get a good lawyer to help you. If he cant beat the case he can get it reduced to a lesser charge. You need a lawyer it will be worth it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I had a 98 in a 55 speed, with reckless op and street racing and got it down to a lesser degree of reckless op last year because the video didn't show what the officer said. It was better than what I was occused of but still not accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectragod Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 There are tricks to beating the ticket... You can plead not guilty, which, will require an additional court date, it is possible the the citing officer won't show up, either work schedule won't allow it, or prior court dates won't. If he does show, you can always plead if you want at that time. As far as reckless, they would have to "prove" that you were reckless, speed, no matter how fast, doesn't justify reckless operation, there have to be additional circumstances, i.e., weaving, wheelies, a crash etc.. Now, if you want to piss the court and judge off, when they ask you how you plea, tell them you wish to stand mute, in which case they have to enter a plea for you, you won't earn any points, but you will make them scratch their heads and go WTF? It's tough to beat a statie on a speed, but a fucking "pace", I'll throw the bullshit flag on that. Get a attorney, make them prove calibration on their equipment, if he paced you, he's going to have a hard time proving that his speedo was certified at the time prior and post to the citation. It is possible that he verified it with his radar, and logged it, that is legal, but doubtful that it was done. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

Rob1647545496 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 had he written you a wreckless op ticket this conversation would be different and you would be happy to get the wreckless opp taken off and to just pay for the speeding so i would pay it cuz the lawyer would cost more. the last time i got pulled over from him pacing me it was the opposite of you me slowing from 140 after beating a MS4 camaro he said 80 wrote me a wreckless opp and i told him i have to many points and if he could take the wreckless opp off and he said he would if i just promised to pay the ticket and not fight it. so i did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Fight the ticket (not guilty, lawyer a good idea) until you can get a deal for no points/no insurance and pay the fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D- I would listen to this advice Also, remember, your INSURANCE might not like a 100 mph ticket So.... I would fight it. Might cost you more up front, but it could pay off in the long run.
