Was the ticket written for 82 in a 40? If so I'm wondering why that isn't a reckless ticket. From what I thought (453 can tell you) if he clocked you on radar, he should have a slip stating the speed.
If the ticket is for that fast, I would recommend getting yourself a lawyer.
Though if you think thats bullshit, try getting a ticket for going 9 miles over the limit, on 460, at 11:00 at night, on a Wednesday, with no traffic in either direction. Fucking Giles county. I got pulled over in an area where the speed went 55->45->55. The cop pulled me over and told me I was doing 54 in a 45, and no more then 1000 meters up the road was a sign that said "55mph".
After I apoligized (I had been driving for 4 hours after getting lost and winding up in Bluefield WV) I asked if he could just let me off with a warning, and his response was.
"Well if I let you off with a warning, I would have to let everyone off with a warning now wouldn't I"
No dick, you'd just have to let me off with a warning and go back to your radar sniping.
