I said earlier I spoke to judge immediately after dropping asking if thereâs any way to get officer corrective training for false ticket etc.Court costs should have been waived since it was a non infraction.
Did you talk with the DA before court? it should have been tossed before you hit a courtroom.
I would also have persued harrassmant charges against the officer. He is immune to civil forfeture but it would show up as a reprimand in his personnel jacket.
My reply would have been, âSee you on the newsâ. I would havthen contacted my local stations consumer affairs department. Sure her bosses would love the publicity.I said earlier I spoke to judge immediately after dropping asking if thereâs any way to get officer corrective training for false ticket etc.
She said donât waste my time or theirs and laughed/smirked

Well how fast do you think you were going? 27 over is significant so an attorney might be able to help get it reduced. I do not know the laws in an Florida so why not contact one and ask?So I got pulled over last night, he said I was going 82 in a 55, plus it was a construction zone but he was going to give me a break and not write it for a construction zone. Well in FL, if there arenât workers present they canât use the construction zone, so he really wasnât cutting me any slack. And he didnât get me on radar, the ticket says he was clocking me for a 1/4 mile with his car. But he didnât follow the Toyota Camry two lanes over that was going just as fast as I was. $279 is the fine, think I might get a lawyer, havenât had a ticket in over 20 years. Hubby wasnât too happy either, he didnât say a word the rest of the drive home. He got the last speeding ticket just a few months ago, because his speedo is off in his truck due to his tires on his 4X4. I didnât give him any grief, but the cop wrote his for less than he was actually going, not mine. I was nice when he pulled me over me too. Didnât try to talk my way out of it.

Hello; I do not know Florida but back when I lived in KY 27 over the posted limit was serious. Lots of points on the license. I think enough to get a suspended license in KY. Anything over 15 over was serious. Big difference in insurance premiums.I WAS speeding, donât get me wrong, I donât know how fast I was going because I wasnât watching the speedo. We went to dinner and we were in the way home and I was enjoying the drive. But I wasnât the only one speeding, I was going with the flow, albeit leading the flow, but going with flow none the less. That Toyota was keeping pace with me, but I guess better to pull over the sports car. Any idea what you pay a lawyer vs. going to court yourself?
Hello; I had a similar decision and picked school. You were written up for greater MPH over the limit than i was and were in a construction zone. My thinking is if you go to court the construction zone part will likely come up. May not seem like much but the officer sems to have given you a break about the construction zone. I may be wrong but if you go to court the officer will have to testify. Best hope is he/she cannot show up.Well I talked with an attorney, itâs a flat $125 for him to go to court and maybe get the fine reduced no points plus court costs. Or go to school plus the cost of the ticket. Decisions decisions. Not sure which way I should go. I know I donât want the points on my license because of the increased insurance, because we are in a high zip code in Florida itâs already expensive, and my record was clean.
