Why? Because when someone fucks up, they do their job? Damn. I guess that makes me an asshole for delivering my beer. I'm just doing my job. Later, QD.

I knew someone would say this. I respect what they do, but duluth is a diff story.

My g/f and I have lived in Duluth (p'tree in/pleasant hill) for a good 2.5 years now. I'm sure most PDs have to meet their quotas ... but when 3 cars pull you over and give you a ticket for going 7 over, then there's something wrong. Duluth PD has way too many cops for such a small town. They actually got in trouble by the state for writing too many tickets. Just come live in duluth for a little while ... you'll understand.

Umm, how did you get a ticket for going 7mph over? What were the circumstances? Were you in a construction zone, school zone, or residential area?

it was on p'tree ind going north right b4 pleasant hill. They have like 5 diff hiding spots. no construction, no school, no residential. it's a main road.

about radar accuracy ... I think on the Duluth tickets, it says something like "request radar accuracy?" ... so they give you the option to request it.

I'll try and find a copy of one of my old tickets.


Edit: I guess the accuracy would be "check calibration"

Yes, that is what you get to check for...

As for the ticket, GA law does not allow for radar to be used for speeds 10mph or less unless in a special "zone" such as mentioned above. Now, unless it was GSP, then you should not have gotten a ticket for 7mph over if radar was used...

I have 2 Duluth PD tickets in front of me right now and they DO read...

DRIVER REQUESTED ACCURACY CHECK(ONE VIOLATION PER CITATION)

Within the State of Georgia, did commit the following offense: SPEEDING-Clocked by[] VASCAR [] LASER [] RADAR []PATROL VEHICLE []OTHER
(Serial#___________Calibration/Check_________) at____MPH in a ____zone

that is Verbatium on the ticket. I can fax a copy to anyone if you don't believe me/just want to see it.

why would they put that on the ticket if it's not nessary?

the court DOES have to PROVE your guilt beyond a resonable doubt and not having an Accurate reading of your speed qualify's a resonable doubt in my mind. although a "calibration check" may not be required accuracy is under the law.
ex: someone on trial for murder. while the location of the suspect is not "required" by law. evidence/info of the suspect being in Canada during the murder in Ga. Might be worthy info.
