    I see no reason why this would be any different to a "normal" speeding ticket.

    As it currently stands, there is no "evidence" that you were speeding, even if they have/use a radar gun. They do not even "have" to show you the readout on the radar gun. And if they do, for all you know, that reading could have been sitting on it for the last hour.

    The judges already consider the word of a policeman to be nigh upon gospel in comparison to a dirty, baby-killing, jew-hating speeder, so I see no reason why they wouldn't listen there too.

    It's a very long and sad story, and yes I did fight it in court but the cop lied his ass off. It was his word against mine, and coz he was a cop with XX years experience and I was just a criminal on a bike, he won.
