I dont know how it is here in texas but in Illinois they cant fine you for less than 5 over due to the accuracy of the radar gun. Have a lawyer go to court for you and ask when the radar gun was last calibrated and how long it had been since the officer was last qualified to use it. They'll drop that **** in a heart beat. Gotten out of alot of tickets. Helps to know the loop holes.

Well, that's just my opinion as a tax payer.

Yeah, I was "really breaking the law." You've got to be ******* kidding me. He was a rude ******* that refused to let me say anything and was completely irrational. Give me a break...

You should have told him to stop talking and just give you a ticket, then take him to court and let the judge laugh in his face.
