    Were you doing 55 in a 45? If yes, there's nothing to fight

    Does not matter if you sign or not if you were speeding and got caught there is nothing to fight, when you sign they state you are not pleading guilty by signing this ticket.

    should have told him you were on your way to a final.

    you might have to sign the ticket when you mail it in with your check.

    By signing you are only verifying that the person listed on the ticket is you. If you have a Colorado ID or driver license in your possession they are not required to have you sign.

    Re: Got my first ticket

    weak, I speed to get to the front of the pack so people know im there and dont crush me. I have hours of video of poeple driving and doing things you cant even imagine. I wonder if I take the case to court show them all the video i have, explain why i drive the way I do, and get the right judge, maybe ill get lucky, or at least a reduction in points. Either way im not letting this slide by that easy. I know 2 former captains from the PD here, ill talke to them and get some opinions.

    yea you should have notified the cop you had been recording because supposedly its illegal now to have footage of officers period...especially without their knowledge.

    (after seeing that nonsense with the motorcycle rider in MD)

    I thought it's legal to record, but not to post online. Can't remember if you have to notify the officer while it's recording or not.

    anyone know?

    According to the constitution, We have a 1st ammendment right to videotape anything in a public setting whether its officers or not, but theres where the line gets blurry. either way DC treats the constitution as if it doesnt exist... and do what they want

    its 4 points, I have a perfect record thus far, its all about future pullovers, if any. When the cop see's a perfect record, hes usually a little lenient. At least thats been my luck the last 2 times.

    But this time they had to give me a ticket because im sure they had people calling in bitching about me cuz i ride the same road every morning at the same time, and they had one guy standing out radaring, and one waiting behind a building. sneaky mofos
