speeding ticket question
Hm, the cop didn't really explain much to me but hm
I got caught doing 24 over the posted speed limit ( either A) interesting or B) the cop was nice and didn't brag ) and I'm 19. How many points, is there court ( or is that only 25 and over ) etc etc?

where was this at??
FUCK B&D COMMUNICATIONS!
you're only allowed 4 points and i think the current ticket you got, thats nearing the limit, but im not sure.
lol leaving Import Showdown on US80 RIGHT outside of Roberta - a car was going slow and finally turned and so I booted it... the cop basically watched me and lasered me and I qoute " I tagged the car doing 32 when turning, then you doing 35, 54, 67, 79 - you get the picture - so are you in a rush or something?" I flat out told him sorta cause the guy that was riding me - we were off to meet his wife somewhere cause she was waiting on him, and she's 7 months pregnant with twins etc - he just was like oh okay - wrote me my ticket and told me to have a good day, we said likewise, and complemented him on his hiding spot ( it was DAMN good - all you could see was barely the top of his lightbar, which looked like nothing at all over the wheat )he was a cool GSP

Damn...its hard as hell to get out of a GSP ticket
FUCK B&D COMMUNICATIONS!

Get a Defesive Driving class as soon as possible, then go to the judge and say i did wrong, and i even went and took a DD class without being told to, just to show how wrong i was....he should either drop the amount or drop the ticket if your lucky!
But on the hdiing spot, i have seen that one to, by a Special Unit cop, dark blue impala, with blacked out windows....was sitting in a ditch....at night....i didnt see him until i was RIGHT beside him!
hm... where's ruiner when I need him LOL

sounds like a ticket worth 300-500 smackers and 3 maybe 4 points but then again you are 19, just plead nolo that way you can pay the fine and be done with it, and accrue no points
You only live once, maybe twice if you use the e-brake!
Hate to break it to ya your license is gone when the dmv finds out about it. Its a combo of your age plus the speed you were going. And believe me losing your license for 6months - 1 year will suck hard. And there is snow ball chance in hell of fighting this one .... sorry to tell you this but its the truth
hrm, I dont care about the points, nor about the fine, more about whether or not I get my license suspended ( its my first moving violation too )

trust me man do what i said....i had my lisence suspended last year for only a month was able to fight it off, and mine was for two tickets 21 and 20 over within 4 months!Originally Posted by Stormhammer
hmm, how much did that cost? If anything I might have to go down there and throw myself at the mercy at the court and if worse comes to worse see if they can drop my speed to at most 23 ( under the 24 )

you should be ok...just plead no lo...
I PLEAD THE FIF!!
Sounds kida familiar. My Friend got a ticket for a 84 in a 45. His fine was over $400 and his liscence will be suspended as of this coming Tuesday for six months. But I have a question. Can he be clocked like that when the cop is going the opposite direction on a to lane road.
You def need an attorney i use Dale Wren, cheap and does a damn good job he got me off an elude, street racing, and loitering ticket droped to just a loitering and a $75 fine. his number is 678-546-1661. I belive it is like $500 for him to come to meet with you once and then go to court with you. did a great job. But you def need an attorney.
Yes. The cop couldn't have used laser (not from a moving vehicle), but they could have hit you with POP and then verified it with any number or types of radar. It used to be that the police cars motion and electronics fucked with radar, so that it couldn't be used while moving, but that is all figured out by now.

what is POP? ive often wondered the same thing
FUCK B&D COMMUNICATIONS!
If you are 19, you need to get a lawyer or you will lose your license down there. Guaranteed.
POP is a method of finding a car's speed from a moving car, however in the operators manual it clearly states that it is not accurate enough to give a ticket off it. So a moving cop might hit a car with POP (quicker) and then use radar (harder to do) to get their speed and give them a ticket.
saidwhat they said
sorry to say it to ya, but:
try to talk to the solicitor before court and see what they are going to try to do
You only live once, maybe twice if you use the e-brake!
^^ whats a solicitor? I mean I'm going to talk to the clerk and see whats going down - my friend got nailed for doign 30 over amongst other stuff and just had to pay it off

DUDE i am telling you theys people are wrong...this coming from first hand experience!!!! I acquired 6 points on my license in a 4 month span and only lost my lisence for 1 month....but that was due to a loophole i found! But YOU NEED TO TAKE A DEFENISVE DRIVING CLASS before you go to court....trust me it will help.....let the judge now that you fucked up, took the class, and am sorry and if its a nice judge he will probably drop the speed....if not NOLO is going to save your life!

Got busted for exactly the same thing coming back from GSU one year and lets just say i was walking/bumming rides for the rest of the year. My ticket was also issued by a gsp officer and i didn' t even think of fighting it. Just payed the fine and took the 12inches of policeman pole with out the loob just my
im in the same situation as you right now with my 29 over and im 17...im still waitin on my court date and I got my ticket in may...its been a while...hopeuflly a yr will pass and the case will be dismissed
BUY MY HATCH <--click the link, cuz.
dont hold your breath i paid my fine, adn a year and a half later they sent me a notice saying that my licsence will be suspended as of ****!!!!
well, I'm gonna talk to a few key people, then wait till wednesday and call the clerk, see whats up, go down there anyways on the date one way or another mainly to talk to the D.A to see if I can get it dropped at least 1mph ( its worth a shot, and according to someone down there, its not out of the question at all )

this happened to me a few years back, I was going through ATL and clocked me at 25 over.
I went to court and talked to the solicitor and they were able to put me through this program through their court system, like a first time speeding offender, I forget the name of the program though.
anywho, the court was STUPID enough not to look at my MVR and see that I had two prior offenses, went through program, community service, Defensive Driving, essay, etc.
and got out of my ticket... but I had to pay $300 and fought the courts for 3 months after they found out that I had previous tickets...
they suspsended my license still, but I had the proof that they lowered my speed and didn't lose my license, and I had to go fuck with the DMV for two days..
it doesn't pay to speed... and I learned that BIG TIME.. but I do speed occassionally..
my advice is, go to DEFENSIVE DRIVING SCHOOL ASAP, pay the $75 and do it.. and plus you can claim it on your taxes..
twoONEoh
they will not dismiss your case, their is no grandfather clause that I'm aware of.. the infraction happened when you were at that certain age....
you either have to have a good solicitor thats willing to work for you or go out of pocket to hire a lawyer, your 29 over is a bit stretched..
stormhammers 24 may be a bit more workable.. but it all depends on your prior record and if their willing to help you..
and YOU MUST APPEAR at court for speeding over 24 mph if your under the age of 21..
twoONEoh
the only tickets I've gotten was a too fast for conditions for my accident in the spring, and a fix it ticket - outside of that I have a squeaky clean record
̿' ̿'\̵͇̿̿\з=(•̪●)=ε/̵͇̿̿/'̿'̿ ̿
I'd go to the DMV and check out your MVR.. I think it's like $6 and you can check your record from there.. and it'll tell you the points you've accrued..
b/c they'll look at your MVR and go from there...
but then again, you were clocked by a GSP.. so there may be little/or no wiggle room whatsoever.. but if you take the DD course.. it may help your case or take a point off... I forget how many pts. it takes off
twoONEoh
btw, if I'm not mistaken, you cannot PLEAD NO LO....
I tried in court and they wouldn't let me... I forget what reason why they said I couldn't though..
twoONEoh
