Default Street racing ticket

Anyone know a good lawyer? Got a ticket lastnight for street racing when I really wasnt. Some guy was on my *** for like 5 minutes and so I gunned it and he got over and gunned it. Next thing ya know a cop comes from behind us and pulls us both over. He said I was doin 70 in a 50 I seriously doubt that cause there was no radar. Anyone have any suggestions?

Street Racing tickets are brtual...I think if you get busted in SD, they crush your car...one of the only cities in the U.S. that does it.

I can attest to this, I beat a speeding ticket this way,(I was innocent), and my buddy has gotten out of 3 tickets this way.

From what I remember, the police officer gets paid to show up in court and win the case, but if you use Trial by Written Declaration, the officer does not get paid to write his statement, even if he wins the case. And in the 4 cases I have seen personally, the officer did not write a statement, and the ticket was dismissed, and you get a check in the mail in a week or so (because you still have to pay the bail amount before you can even request Trial by Written Declaration)

Aye speed contest are a pain in the ***. They are 2 points on your record and are considered a misdemeanor ticket, major violation. I got the same ticket when me and a guy next to me gunned it trying to get through a yellow light, cop pulled us over and said we were street racing. Judge ended up reducing the ticket to a minor trafic voilation but I still had the 2 points on my record.
