Ok I was speeding. Doing about 80 in a 45 on a 4 lane road in freaking aventura. Radar doesn't go off and cop comes out of nowhere. He gives me a ticket but says I was doin 64. I said nothing about about my actual speed.

I had a lawyer for my last ticket this summer and it was thrown out. Same situation except he said I was going faster than I wasn't. So my thing is I got a ticket from a cop who wasn't using radar. What are my chances of beating the case? Can I win it? Or should just pay it?

Thanks

Deng dude! You were flyin! You got lucky he wrote you up for 64mph.

You could get a lawyer, but how much will that cost?

You could also go to traffic court and see what the DA offers you if you plead guilty.

If it was me I would just plead guilty and take the class online (assuming it is like it is in Illinois)

Well the lawyer is 125$. Ticket is 300$. I just pleaded guilty for riding in the hov lane last month. Had to do an 8 hour aggressive driving class. So I doubt I can get any love from the judge

Sucks to hear man. Hope the ticket gets dismissed.

Where in Aventura did you get stopped? Ever since I got my F a few weeks ago I can't seem to lay off the gas.

Trial By Dec is a CA courtroom procedure.... Florida might not have that....

What is that?

If he didn't get you by radar and you claim that he "came out of nowhere" to ticket you for exactly 64 MPH, then logically he must've gotten you by laser gun.

There are only 3 ways a cop can cite you for speeding: radar, "lidar," or pacing. You claim he didn't use radar and he clearly couldn't have been pacing you if he "came out of nowhere," so obviously he used a laser gun.

And it sounds to me like the cop was probably doing you a huge favor. Citing you for exactly 19 MPH over. 20 MPH+ over the speed limit is considered reckless driving and is grounds for a Class C misdemeanor charge.

Yeah I bet he got you on lidar and went easy on you because of the conditions

California cops can estimate speed visually. They have regular training on it, and it is admissible in court. AMHIK.

Naw it was a undercover black charger.
