Not enough info given from OP to make assumptions in this case.

With the information provided in this post, simply doing 51 in a 50 brings a strong degree of suspicion to any officer who would pull over a vehicle for no other reason than 1mph over the speed limit. Actually, he could not prove speeding at 1mph over. Regardless of method of speed determination, the margin of error is 3 to 5mph, thus the case is thrown out. For this reason, people don't get pulled over for 1mph unless there are OTHER circumstances.

Now, if 1mph over was the ONLY reason, oh, we have an issue and a decent, assertive, attorney would climb in and redifine any officer's gender in a court of law for such a petty offense that is not supported by anything but the officers "word".

OK...bed time... lol night
