Question:

Unlawful Speeding Ticket?

Hey everyone...I need some help.

My boyfriend and I were driving down the freeway on the way to a family function (his brother and wife were following us in their car), when we see a Highway Patrol standing on the side of the road with a radar gun. We weren't speeding and he waved us down to pullover. We figured something must be wrong with the car (headlight out, etc.) so we pull over and ask whats wrong and he tells us we were speeding 20 miles over the limit!!! We didn't want to question the officer, but said are you sure you got the right car? He continued to write the ticket and left. If we were in the wrong, I would be more than happy to pay the ticket. But knowing that we were not speeding and that the car following us can confirm we were not speeding, I don't think we should fork over $300 and a point on our record.

How can I go about fighting this where I don't look like any normal person off the street that doesn't want to pay a ticket??

Please help :)

  1. Talk to a lawyer - hire one now.  Tell the lawyer everything, mention any witnesses, and do what they say to do.  The lawyer's got the best chance of getting you out of it, and they have more pull with the D.A. than you have.  A lawyer will know all the right things for you to say / do.  I don't know about CA, but here on the East Coast a lawyer only runs about 175 - 200 bucks.  That's well worth it for a serious ticket like what you have.
