Farkin pissed off, got done for speeding down a road I didn't even go down 2nite.

[sosman]

Well forks where to start!,So mad right now i really can't type for shit[lost licence/suspended & gotta go to court!]
Round 7.30pm I filled up at the shell on greville rd[northshore],left the station & went up to the lights at geville rd/eastcoast bays intersection,turn left onto eastcoast bays rd
& followed the road to the intersection of eastcoast rd/oteha valley & carlisle rd.I then turn right onto Carlisle rd & travelled bout 200m then rred & blue flashing lights come on[no siren] first
thing i do is look at my speedo & holyshit im doing xxkph in a 50 so i indicate & pull over & stop.
Cop gets out a says ive been riding dangerously from shell station grivelle rd & He says hes got me on camera at the gas station & i also did xxkph down Oaktree ave [which is a rd off eastcoast bays]
which i didnt even go down 2nite/2day.
I say you must be mistaken & he says i fit the desciption bla bla jacket & boots,he asks me if i was at greville rd shell & i said yes.
So He asks for my licence by then another cop car turns up,time passes by then i get issued a ticket for xxkph down Oaktree ave which i never did & suspened licence for 28 days & gotta go to court.
The cop was also on his own in the car so what proof would he have of anything but clockin me doin xxkph on carlisle rd when he flashed his lights at me.
Any help or advice would be really good right now!

Lawyer up.

Ask for a copy of the video from the petrol station so you can have time stamped evidence of when you and maybe this other chap were there, also you bank records if you used eftpos would be nice.


Go into the station tomorrow and ask to speak to someone regards the ticket.


Vote National ?

Nice to see the creative side of the public servant's in action occasionally.

better than your advice...(or my advice for that matter)

[Gubb]

For God's sake, take all the Bush Lawyers' advice with a grain of salt.
They start filling the thread in 5, 4, 3, 2.....

Didn't think I'd given any...

No legal experience whatsoever ,

but maybe go down Oaktree Ave and get written/verbal evidence they did not hear/see a loud, high velocity bike on their road?

Actually that's nearly good advise, go see if there are any cameras in the area, company surveillance, traffic cams, even folks with web cams etc, then ask if you can get copies of the relevant times recordings.

The other suggestion that makes a lot of sense is get a lawyer.

Good luck, I have had similar way back and was able to prove that I had not travelled down a section of the street I was accused of with 20+ witnesses and a camera recording.

Got to love our "justice" system.

Guilty until proven innocent.

Sadly you're fucked for 28 days dude. If he's got you on video then he has to send it to you (along with all the other evidence at his disposal) when you write in stating you're not guilty and request the evidence be disclosed to you.

I've been in a similar position with the ATNR's favourite power-crazy oinker & am more than happy to go over it with ya. I may bring my bush though :P


P.S. Can I borrow the Gixxer?

[Ixion]

Surely not. After all, everybody knows that you can't get a speeding ticket unless you were speeding. They tell me so every time new draconian laws are proposed.

You have got to think about what you want to do.

If you want to go the legal way be prepared to spend $$$ to clear your name. Take the advice of your lawyer. Don't rely what you see on here. You will need documentary evidence to show you were not the biker committing the offence. In court, your word versus a police officer is virtually worthless.

If you want to just take it, consider what you are actually charged with. If it is of the speeding type, the court penalty is something like 50 points, no ban and a big fine. Seeing as you might have got a 35 point/$350 ticket anyway you may consider that a win. If the cop sticks to the dangerous driving charge etc get yourself a lawyer, the penalties can be big.

In either case you will be back on the road in 28 days.

Unfortunately even if you are totally innocent you will still get fucked over by this incident because you will probably have your licence back by the time anything gets done.

First thing I'd do is delete the speeds you have mentioned in your post. If you go to court, it is possible that a cop will print this thread out and hand it in (Happened to another dude on these forums)

NO 1 TIP WHEN YOU GET STOPPED: Deny everything till you see evidence. NEVER admit to anything. Admission of guilt = hole in wallet.
