I guess I passed an off duty highway patrol in his minivan with his wife. The tickets were for exceeding 100 mph in traffic, and following too closely. Not that he could have shown it on radar, but I ended up paying a 150 dollar court cost, and 20 hrs of community service. I personally wasn't going to risk losing my liscense by pleading not guilty. Just remember anyone with a cell phone can report you.
No pictures from a camera or proof of any kind? If it was me I don't think so, if they can't prove it I am not admitting it. I am not criticizing you but a system that lets unsupported accusations result in a conviction is just wrong. JMHO
