Pulled Over On Bell Rd. (phoenix) Ok so last night I was cruisin bell with some friends, just mindin my business in my 01 mustang gt, then out of no where a little ricer comes up next to me at a stop light. I looked at him and just smiled, light turns green I take off like at normal speed not intending to race. he fly up next to me, matches my speed and starts reving his fourbanger engine. I still ignored him until he finally took off infront of me. About 10 seconds later I see police lights coming up behind me, the ricer gets thru the light but I don't, the cop pulls me over and rights me a ticket for drag racing.. I tried explaining to the female cop but she would not reason, Now I have court next month I am a juvenile so I was not arrested. What do you think will happen out of all this? 
thanks

I was out on Bell just to see what was up Friday night about 11. No sooner did I get off of the 17 than a Phoenix cop starts tailing me. I'm sure they were waiting for me to do something, probably cuz of the license plate (TIRFRYR). After 4 or 5 blocks they went around and turned around. I turned around a few blocks later (everything being done very legally) and picked another cop tailing me going the other way. They turned around just past 43rd. Although I came up to a light with a Stang in the other lane, I decided that this was not a lucky night and just went back to the 17 and headed home.
yeah i got arrested last week, and i really wasnt street racing at all just trying to catch up with greg and his friends and since i was going 65, the cop pulls me over saying im going 70+ and the posted limit was 40 *actually 45* so technically i shoudlnt have been arrested and im getting a lawyer
if you need a lawyer let me know, i know a good one
sucks what happened, let me know what happens

I got a speeding ticket last week. I was driving down the 51...cruisin in the HOV lane and decided to get on the gas a little. I notice there was an SUV towing a trailer in front of me so I moved over and passed it...at this time im doing about 90+...only to notice that the SUV i passed was a sheriffs SUV LOL...he asked me how fast i was going..blah blah blah, said he was driving 85mph....but he didnt have any proof that I was criminal speeding. So he wrote me a ticket for 80 in a 65.
So now I have to spend $120 and go to traffic school, but on a good note, Greg got a ticket tonight! So he will being joining me in class!! LOL
sorry greg.

since the posted limit for bell is 45mph and you were sited for 55+, how were you drag racing?
you said the ricer made it through the light and you didn't, so wouldn't that mean he was doing 65+ to be that far ahead of you? so that would be criminal speed, so why didn't she go after him?

just because i was the easier target and she never clocked us so since i didnt get thru the light she just thought hmm, ill just pull him over since they were street racing, she told me oh your buddy got lucky and got away.. i was like that wasnt my buddy, i wasnt even streetracing. 
If she didn't have radar on, fight this and in court ask for the calibration sheet on the car then! Make sure it was done BEFORE your ticket. If it was done afterwards, tell the judge you contest the proof, he'll look at it and then off you go. Laughing your way out the court room.
Had a case where a CHP officer here gave me a ticket doing 80 (not) in a 65. So i fought it and won b/c the dam dumb *** did the calibration after the ticket was issued
If you have time always fight tickets!!! you never know if the officer will show up too
