Default Re: Q's:

I'm more concerned with the estimated speeding since I was only given a warning for the registration.

The officer tried to scare me with the threat of the registration ticket so I would admit to speeding.

In fact, he had no idea how fast I was going and could not have possibly paced me since I was stopped at the next traffic light by the time he pulled out of his side street. (I saw him pull out while I was stopped.)

Also, he accelerated quickly to catch up to me which would have negated his ability to pace.

Thanks for your responses...

Default Re: Q's: try these:

Figure out the distance between stop lights (where this alleged incident happened)

Browse the MGL Chapt 90 sect 17 & 18.

See if the distance and the speed zone requirements were met by you.

If not, you can contest the ticket, with some certainty that you *may* be able to convince the judge (after the CM)that your not guilty as charged.

My "idea":
"or (3) inside a thickly settled or business district at a rate of speed exceeding thirty miles per hour for a distance of one-eighth of a mile, or"<ul><li><a href="http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/90-17.htm">MGL Chapter 90 section 17: speed limits</a></li></ul>

Default Doesn't matter. "Estimated" speed is BS as they have no proof. I contested it and it was immediate

immediately dropped due to the "estimated" box being checked.

Clocked is NOT radar or lidar... its the equivalent of 'tailing' you for a distance over time
