Speeding ticket help.?

The prosecutor is not going to care that you think you know more than them, ok? You insulting the cops intelligence, saying he stuttered, and insulting the way he does his job is not going to help you AT ALL! So stop your whining--you were speeding and you got a ticket for that. Police officers are trained this way to tell if a car is speeding and how fast they're going.

NO it is not an exact science. He might have made it faster than you were going and that stinks, but when you talk to the prosecutor he/she will likely knock the ticket down for you. I'd recommend getting a lawyer because you won't be able to help yourself in htis no matter how easy you think it is.

You want to get rid of the points that will go to your license so you might want to consider a lawyer. It is expensive but he will most definitely be able to get the points wiped out and you will pay an increased fine. At least your insurance won't skyrocket. You could just go on your courtdate to talk to the prosecutor and tell him everything to see if he can knock it down. Usually prosecutors are willing to help someone once a year so the violator can avoid points on their license--in NJ anyway.

You can talk to the prosecutor but don't tell him that the officer was stuttering or anything like that because its useless information that makes it seem like you're only insulting the officer. Tell the prosecutor what the officer said to you and that you couldn't have been going that fast. Explain your situation and see if there is a plead deal he could help you with.

Hiring a lawyer is much easier and usually much more effective, Prosecutors can be cool or they can be real pricks.

Pacing is more then just how fast YOU are going. The officer maintains a basic speed via cruise control and then gauges how much he needs to accelerate to match your speed. This is an acceptable method and will not be "easy" to defend yourself against. The reason the officer gave you a general idea of how fast you were going "between this speed and this speed" is probably because you were not keeping the same speed over the distance you covered. Which is probably what he will say. If you show up in court expect the officer to defend his own actions, however Judges are pretty lenient against first time offenders and therefore you could have the ticket dropped or just lowered.

It's always worth a shot. Good luck!

Yes....you can also contest a radar or laser ticket. However, your chances of fighting it are slim. If it is you vs the cop, the judge will go on the assumption the cop has no reason to lie but you do. YOU want to get out of the ticket, not pay the fine and not get the points. If you base your defense on the cop telling a lie for some unknown reason, your chances of winning are about zero. You will have to fight it on the assumption the cop made an error in calculating the speed. Since you are asking about non-radar/laser methods, yes there are other methods that can be used. If the cop pulled up behind you in your blind spot and then matched your speed, reading his CERTIFIED speedometer, and sees that you were over the limit (usually it has to be a certain amount, such as 5 mph to allow for error in your uncertified speedometer) he can give you ticket based upon tracked and observed speed over the limit. You will have to provide reasonable doubt as to the accuracy of how he did it. IE: Springtime and they just switched to summer tires from their winter tires. Did they recertify his speedometer? They also can use a timer device in some areas. The cop can start one stop watch as you cross a particular mark, then when he crosses the same mark, he starts a second stop watch. Then when you cross another mark, he stops the first one, and when he crosses the same second mark, he stops the second. A computer then matches the two stop watches and the distance traveled and comes up with a speed for your car. They even allow in some areas the cop to mark out a quarter mile and he then sits with a stop watch and "clocks' you (that is where the term came from) as you travel the quarter mile. If the speed limit is 60 mph, he knows to go one mile should take you more than 1 minute, and to go a quarter mile, it should take you more than 15 seconds. If you do it in 10 seconds, he knows you were speeding and again can give you a ticket. Pay the ticket and watch your speed.

Just keep in mind that courts tend to side with officers absent a powerful showing of evidence which contradicts the officer's testimony. Some courts have gone so far as to say that an officer's estimate of your speed is sufficient for a ticket to stand.

Just keep asking until someone eventually tells you the answer you are looking for. The judge will still believe the cop, but you will feel better right up until you lose the case.

Well, I hate to say it, but, most likely your goose is cooked,

But good luck if you choose to fight it!
