70 in a 45 with no radar or laser?

[BobbyFresco]

dont ever fucking post in a thread about tickets again you retard.

and just who the fuck are you?
How about you go suck on some down syndrome dick, retard.

[Nomad!]

...the fact that the cop wrote on my ticket that I was driving a Mitsubishi Stratus definitely helped. Hopefully the heavy traffic written on your ticket will have the same effect

I've seen numerous situations where the officer has written
erroneous information on a citation and said citation was dismissed....

[Nemesis]

really where is the GA Code that states that? try again.

To side with im slightly, I just got off the phone with a lawyer, and they are by law supposed to pace for at least a 1/4 of a mile. And the lawyer just so happened to work on the Atlanta police force for 19 years, and mentioned that the speedos in 90 percent of patrol cars hardly work.

[BobbyFresco]

Simple minded ass monkeys adding nothing but BS to a thread is FTL...

[1000cckiller]

Actually they do have to pace you for sometime to say they have you at a certain speed, I cant remember how long but I will check for you. I used to wofk at the sheriffs department. Also if they put the wrong year on your ticket for your car, you can say he mistaked you car for another. Because 08 and a 04 are two different cars.

in a court of law you need proof, without its your word against his total bs, ask for the charges to be dropped b/c he has no proof

The length is 1/4 of a mile. Thanks for the last tip, I will remember that. Im going to plead Not Guilty and request a trial date.

i said where is the ga code please list it for me. with out stating the fucking code you asshats are talking out your ass. that is all.

good luck on the cop marked the wrong box. i hope u use that as a defense.

[Jaimecbr900]

I fought a red light ticket in Atlanta a few years ago and won. If you really feel that it's BS, fight it. Worse that can happen is what's already happened, which is you have to pay for the ticket. Best case scenario, it gets dropped or at the very least reduced.

It only makes sense that there is a minimum distance that the car has to travel in order to make a "pace" case stick. I also think that if he marked that traffic was "heavy" it goes further to support your claim than it does his. IF in fact you'd been going thru "heavy" traffic at that rate of speed, he could of easily charged you with the much more severe "reckless driving".

Sounds to me like he made a rookie mistake and was a bit over zealous in wanting to write someone a ticket. I say fight it and take your chances.

Id rather not represent myself at trial, so if you can reccommend anyone to me Jaime that would be great.

Instead of flinging crap around on everyone elses post, how about posting a solution yourself? Could be a bit more constructive, don't you think?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Ran again.

[Nemesis]

I respect cops for what they do, but this guy was one of a kind for sure. I have refrained from saying what I feel since Im sure that would spark a huge discussion which wasnt meant for on this thread.

[Dracc]

i thought all traffic cops had to write calibration numbers on the ticket or atleast say the radar was on and working on the ticket.. i say fight it in traffic court.. plead not guilty and explain

[Ran]

i did keep reading.

You recommended that he plea down the case. I could understand going that route if you have the extra cash and just want it done and away with. However, his question wasn't about pleaing down the fine or losing his license. It was about getting the ticket thrown out considering that it was a bullsh*t ticket.

When I recommended posting something constructive, I was referring to recommending technicalities that he could look for or what scenarios he could be facing. Perhaps what would be his best route to getting the ticket thrown out.

[Nemesis]

If I plead not guilty I will be given a a court date. Any type of plea deal is an admission of guilt so that's out of the question because I know what he did was wrong. I have been told, that guessing a speed from a cop is and can hold up in court. Its up to me or my lawyer to question the officer enough to make him either A. Look stupid or B. Prove that he was wrong.

[Leadfoot_mf]

i guess i wasnt clear. plead not guilty subpoena the tapes.

[JITB]

i was hit with the ole pacing ticket before, but it was in dekalb county.

but i have had alot of BS tickets like the one you have now, and honestly i doubt he will even show up. And the best thing you can do is fight it if he does...it seems like you have more on your side than the cop does. i wouldnt even waste money on a lawyer, unless you can.

[GIXXERDK]

I did ask, he got pissed, got back in his patrol car, sat for another 15 minutes, figured out he couldnt write a ticket for anything else, and said if I dont sign the tickets he's going to take me to jail. :shrug:

All while traffic is being backed up in the intersection. He didnt even let me pull into a lot.

I've had a similar encounter. Cop told me he was going to take me to jail if I didnt shut-up.

i agree.

[Jaimecbr900]

You can get a lawyer, but I think it will probably not be necessary unless this is like your 3rd strike and you'll license type thing.

When I fought my red light ticket, I had to go to that crazy traffic court in Downtown Atlanta. Sat there for a little bit until my case got called. They had like this big mock intersection with little cars for you to use as a visual aid. Anyway, I plead my case and won. It lasted all of 5 mins. It wasn't that hard really. In my case, common sense prevailed. Officer that didn't even get out of his squad car to write the ticket, didn't.

Seriously, I'd fight it if I were you and felt this way. If it's BS, it's BS. Just prepare yourself and take pics (which I know you KNOW how to do ) and basically show that it was impossible for you to be traveling at that rate of speed at that time.

If you don't feel comfortable doing that, my next suggestion would be to speak to the solicitor and get it plead down to almost nothing. No points, no insurance issues, just pay the fine and move on. Afterall, how much money will it cost you to spend a whole day in court fighting this? Sometimes diminishing returns kicks in, you know?

I'll tell you what, for the right price......I'll represent ya ......I'd have them so baffled with bullshit they wouldn't know where the gavel was fast enough to shoo us off.....

Good luck.

can anyone represent you or do u have to be a lawyer?

[Jaimecbr900]

What are you talking about.....I AM a lawyer...... JP.

I believe anyone can represent you in a civil action, but I think you have to be a bonafide lawyer for anything criminal. Not sure where traffic falls into this since you can technically go to jail for some traffic offenses, yet most are handled just like a civil trial.

I'd have to ask to be sure.

[Leadfoot_mf]

on that note who wants a divorce?

[Fast Shadow]

Im not going to give a long drawn out story, just want some opinions.

3 intersections... one in front of Emerils in Buckhead, one before 400, and one after. Total length approx 1/2 mile. Silver maxima going way under speed limit. I pull into fast lane to pass, hit gas, doing around 50 steady, pass the second light and notice ATLPD pull out behind 3 cars with lights on. He holds me in the middle of the intersection to turn while blocking traffic to write me a ticket for about 20 minutes. Cites me for 70 in a 45, and said he was following me for 1/2 mile. Total BS. Can I fight this?

The rich old whites in Buckhead are clearing all of the groups they call "minorities" out of the area. Noticed that all the clubs are gone? All the stores in Lenox and Phipps that appeal to those groups are going to be shut down, too.

Wtf are you talking about? What does that have to do with this discussion

[cruizer]

At the end of the day it is your word vs the cops and depending on the judge you might end up paying more for the ticket. There is always the chance that the cop will not show up at the court date and the case will be dismissed.

[redrumracer]

ask to look at the video were he was pacing like he said he was

[Nemesis]

Wtf are you talking about? What does that have to do with this discussion

Because Im a minority, and all cops are raciseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Jecht]

So whats up George?

[Nemesis]

Nada, pretrial court date is set for October 3rd. Im wondering, if I take it to trial, how far out they will issue the date for?

I'm not sure. I know it was in a different area, but I got a similar ticket last year here in Kennesaw. My second court date was two months after the pretrial, the third another month and a half, and the fourth and final one three months after the third.

Actually, they are clearing all the dumb shit out of Buckhead. The dumbass shootings, the fights, the drunks, all that shit thats been fucking it up for years. I think it's great.
