70 in a 45 with no radar or laser?

[Nemesis]

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?

^^prob not man. it'll prob cost you more money tryin to fight it... pay it. count it as a loss...no biggie. you dont have a bad driving record (i think) so it's not going to hurt u much.


btw...doesnt that cop know your car cant do 70? stupid cops

Ive gone to court 3 times for tickets and gotten out of them or have had them reduced.

No radar, and no laser. Its impossible to have followed me for half a mile. He was doing 70 to catch up to me, that DOESNT mean I was doing 70.

I would have asked for proof......
I do think you should fight it.
City of Atlanta courts are so busy, I imagine if you challenged it, they'd drop it....

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.

[iloveboost]

They are allowed to pace you to get the speed at which you're traveling.

It will ultimately come down to your word against his if you try to fight it and take it to trial. Whose do you think they'll believe?

Best bet is to negotiate with the solicitor and ask for it to be reduced so it doesn't get reported to insurance or points on your license.

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

true...good luck to ya man. I usually never fight cuz it takes too long and too much money. i tried to fight a "racing" ticket (i was doing 45 to lunch) and it costed me a shit load and i'm on probation. fucking pigs

fuck you lol

hahaha...ok ok...doesnt he know that red cars cant do 70?!

Wow...Are you fucking kidding me?
Sounds like they screwed you big time.

this is Nemisis' time to shine.

[Nemesis]

any other input would be great. Like I said, I know for a fact I was only doing 50 in a 45. I would man up if I did get caught, but this isnt the case.

[MachNU]

i think you should fight it and represent yourself! i mean heavy traffic take pics of the 3 intersections at the same time of day, if they are always busy to show that 70 is impossible to pull off!

I was in a similar situation a few years back. Basically the cop embellished the stop in order to make me look guilty. The I was able to convinced the judge that the cop was full of shyte so he let me go without a fine or points.

I say FIGHT THE POWER!!!

[uproot]

total BS man...

[©hris]

oh ok did u get him to check his radar and write the calibration numbers (guess thats what they are) on the citation??

He has to be behind you for so long or some distance to be able to pace you...

i dunno, good luck w/ it though... maybe he wont show at court

Did you not read the title of this thread? lol On the ticket it has no radar or laser selected. He checked "Patrol" .

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

[Nemesis]

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.

[Rican219]

Don't argue to much Whore-hey they may deport your az1@n azz away!





No but in all honesty I say fight it. Fuck tha po po

[©hris]

patrol??? wtf??? lol

[Nemesis]

patrol??? wtf??? lol

On the ticket it asks what method of Speed Clocking he used: Patrol Vehicle, Laser, Radar, are the methods.




True Tracy, 50 in a 45 is speeding. Guilty as charged.

[Tracy]

50 in a 45 is speeding. Good thing you didn't get into an accident they may have called it street racing and splashed it on TMZ.

[itsjustdee]

maybe you shouldn't speed if you dont' want a ticket. did you ever think about that?

[Nemesis]

You're right though , going 5mph over was very wreckless and I could have caused an accident.

Aren't there certain technicalities for which you could get out of the ticket?
Is this not one of em?

exactly what i was gonna say. this alone will probably get it thrown out. if not, then the fact he marked "heavy traffic" on a city street with many stoplights also gives you a good defense, and will also cause the ticket to get dismissed.

Just plead NOT GUILTY...Take it to trial and tell them to pull out the video tape...if they cant or wont, it automatically gets dropped.


Someone had stole my license and car info one time a while ago and well i got this shit in the mail saying i didn't show up to court and i told them it wasn't me, but The Cop said it was me. well i plead not guilty and told the cop to get the video tape....nvr showed up with a tape cuz my face wasn't on it. BAM no charge for me
