RE: Got Busted.... Yet Again
Well if I were you, I would go to court to fight it. He didn't/couldn't gun you, so how does he know you were speeding, and whatticket to write you.That's just me though, I've gotton out of 1 ticket because of it, but your mileage may vary.

RE: Got Busted.... Yet Again
he gave me a ticket for speeding and said "if i have any decent concious (however you spell it) in ya to not go to court and fight it"... i was like "well damn, ok"... Butt i dont understand, he was pumping gas, no radar/laser...only evidence may be his dash cam...
SKITSO-- i'm in Mary Esther it's pretty much Fort Walton Beach/ Destin area outside of Pensacola... I was headed to Holt dragstrip.

yeah i would but everytime i go to court for a useless ticket.. the fine gets raised, or either points get raised.... i dunno. Judges really dont care for me for some reason.... Besides $80 isn't too bad...i dont even know how many points that is... thinks its 2 right?

In VA, this is what my little brother got for 1)street racing violation........15 days in jail, fines
2)street racing violation (four days later), felony police evasion.......30 days in jail, 3 yrs in big boy jail suspended but hanging for 5 yrs, 2yrs no license. supervised probation, lord knows how many fines
This is all with a very very very good lawyer at hand, so he got a little lucky, but thats still pretty steep consequences for running.
BTW, he did get away, outran 7 city boys, till they looked at the dash cams after the chase, one got close enough while waiting at an exit ramp to get his plates.
The point??? Yeah, you did get perrrrty lucky

dude dont fight that ticket, 80 bucks aints nothing compared witht the court fees if applicable. Plus if this guy really had u on the camera he could nail your *** reallly bad and probably charge u with police evasion or whatever. Take it for what it is a very lucky ticket

If you don't contest that ticket, you are an idiot. They have to prove you were guilty, unless they changed the laws while I was sleeping. In NY that mean either a speed measuring device (radar/laser) or pacing you for period of time. I've never mailed in a speeding ticket pleading guilty in my life and I never will.

RE: Got Busted.... Yet Again
ever hear of drag strip? You pay $20 (or so) and you can run down the track and not possibly kill some body else other than the other moron in the other lane who knows the rules.
