Why You Should Fight Speeding Ticket Carefully

Most people try to fight speeding ticket fines by all sorts of means: that is a fact. For instance, one major argument is that the police officer did not agree to show the radar reading. Well, there is no law that says he / she has to. Moreover, a radar reading will not necessarily convince you that you were exceeding speed limits; the reading could very well be from another car, and you have no means to tell the difference, not on the spot at least. There is another trick here that may not help you fight speeding ticket penalties: what if you were shown the reading? The officer could very well put this aspect down in the papers with the mention that you “agreed” with the charge.

One other argument people bring when they fight speeding ticket penalties is that the police officer was rude to them. Normally speaking, he or she has no right to mistreat you; however, if you didn’t watch in the rear mirror and he or she had to follow you for several miles before pulling you over, chances are that he or she will be fuming. Even so, you should be treated decently; yet, if you want to file a complaint it is better not to do it before you appear in court. The details of the day when you were stopped may also help you fight speeding ticket charges more easily.

If the police officer did not write everything in his / her papers, chances are that you will face less difficulties when you fight speeding ticket charges in court. In case there is not much written about your breaking the traffic rules, and you can also get a delay for the court hearing, it is most probable that the officer will not remember the case very well, since they stop dozens of cars every day. Time is therefore working to your advantage.

There are other legal escape doors for people who fight speeding ticket penalties in court. For instance, it is good to know whether the radar was located on private or public property. In case it was on private property your speeding ticket would be legal only if the police officer had a written consent from the owner of the property. Yet, certain laws are not always applicable to police officers that are following suspects, since they are in the performance of their legal duties.

Help answer the question about speeding tickets

Do you have a negative opinion of police because of speeding tickets?
The only time many of us EVER interact with the police is when they are handing out tickets for minor infractions of the speeding law. Do you feel this gives the police a rather significant black eye in terms of how they are viewed by the general public?
Let me add this little detail. I can go out to a highway right now and see 95% of the cars (assuming traffic is actually moving, which it often isn't) going safely 10 MPH over the limit. Nobody's cutting anyone off, nobody's tailgating — ok, sure there is always some jackass out there going 95 switching lanes, but we aren't discussing him.

Are all of these people "criminals"? Are all of these people needing to be "saved" as some of you are suggesting? Be real people, studies have shown repeatedly that MOST people will drive at a safe speed for the road and the conditions and its most dangerous when cars are traveling at significantly different rates. So, where is the crime?

Why is it that so many people's ONLY crime in life is speeding? Must we all be "sinners" in the eyes of our law?

And back to the point of the question, is there a significant cost to the relations of the police and the public as a result? By posing the question, you can infer my opinion: there is one.
Curt: EXACTLY!!!!!! Everyone on the road knows who should be getting the ticket, except for the police.
And then there's the whole catch 22, Mr. Police Officer. If I am on the highway going EXACTLY the speed limit, I have people running up my ass, cutting me off, doing all kinds of super crazy shit.

Personally, I think everyone should respect the right of others to follow the law. But that's not reality. My odds of being in an accident TRIPLE if I drive below the speed limit by even 3 MPH.

    Speeding tickets are about economics not safety. Your best defense is economic. Never pay on the spot. You should always contest a ticket in court, you will get the chance to plea bargain, for a lesser charge because it is cheaper than a hearing. For those who say speeding tickets are about safety and not about making money, please explain the proliferation of speed cameras and automatic mail in fines smoothing the money flow. Why aren't the police doing something else?

    A history of bad driving will disqualify you, but if it is just a couple speeding tickets, you should be fine. They don't expect you to be perfect.
