Well.....here is how my son and daughter in law, got out of their tickets.
They requested a "discovery" to see when the last time the speed gun was calibrated.
If the "discovery" request, is not at the court house with the judge, then you should win. If the police officer does not show up, you will also get off.
And the person who said, just pay it, that's your punshiment...hummm
must not drive a XFire!! It's soooo hard to go the speed limit all the time <g>
