got pulled over by motorcycle cop today going 50 in a 35. he reduced it to 45. thing is i was the middle car. what an @hole!
is this something i can use in court? this is WA state. i have a spoiler on my car and it is lowerd, is that a reason to pick me? everyone else was going 50 as well. i wasn't tailing the guy in front of me either.
i'm just pissed. why me out of 5 cars around me?

prolly cause of your car. i've known some cops that were a little prejudice and loved opportunities like yours.
not much you can do other than say the calibration in your car is off, making you think you were actually going the speed limit.
or that you couldn't slow down because the car behind you wouldn't let you. good luck either way.

"i was just keeping up with traffic, there were 5 cars around me" might actually work.

Possibly. If the officer was using a radar gun, you may have a case. Radar picks the biggest signal that's reflecting back the info, so if that was someone else then you're safe. If it was laser or him pacing you then you're SOL.
If it's any consolation, I got a $295 ticket for going 88 in a 65. Man, I hate speed traps :(

you just need to get a bumper sticker that says: "Support Higher Education! Send a Cop to First Grade."

anyway, there were 2 moto cops, just sitting there shooting they dumb laser guns at ppl and happen to choose me.
this is my first ticket too, so maybe that could help. i've been driving for 7 yrs and thisis my first ticket.

actually, a camaro is an excellent car (though i don't like them much) for speeding. the radar gun has a hard time gauging the speed of the car, because there is no flat surface (unless you put a licence plate on the front) for the radar to bounce off of.

tell that to the judge, he might feel sorry for ya.

You already know the answer. Age profiling. If you had tits and would flirt, you would never get a ticket. I love cops so much.
I love living in a big city. I haven't dealt with corrupt pigs in four years.
