florida speeding ticket question Can someone look at a speeding ticket they have recieved and tell me what agency and tell me if it says a radar number or something like that on it? I recieved a ticket 2 days ago in Osceola County and all it says on the OTHER VIOLATIONS OR COMMENTS PERTAINING TO OFFENSE section is POSTED ZONE, FRONT RADAR(S). there is no radar number

The officer hit you with a speeding ticket under 316.183(2). With my agency we have to put our radar numbers, but he can get away with saying "Front Radar", because if you take him to court, he can bring in his calibration for his radar equipment. The only thing that is missing, however, is that it doesn't state whether or not he was "Stationary" or "Moving"

thanks the SSheriff The only reason that I am mad is because I graduated from the police academy last month and passed my state exam and i'm now looking for a job and this is not my first speeding ticket so it looks really bad on me.
he cited me for 316.187.2B because of the 4-lane highway with a 20 Ft median (I-4)

Wait a second, is the citation for "UNLAWFUL SPEED", or is it for "EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM POSTED SPEED LIMIT"? If it is for the latter, then you got off easy. Instead of an actual speeding ticket, "Exceeding" is considered as a moving violation, which is a MUCH lesser fine.
