I have a Passport 9500iX, the cop caught me using laser, no radar/LIDAR detector can really help you... Only jammers can

Also, they aren't "cop detectors". If they're sitting there doing math to calc. your speed (between two set points with a known distance) or pacing you, you're pretty much ****** if you don't spot them first.

Just kind of have to know the area, know where they hide and such. If I go somewhere new I never speed until I've gone through it a few times and have seen their hiding spots (or potential ones).

Why not? Mine has front and rear facing lidar detectors. They work just fine and warn me all the time.

I got a ticket in San Diego for doing 83 on the freeway (65 limit) and just after the officer wrote my ticket he figured out that I was a nurse (cuz of my plate, and the fact I asked if he usually gives out tickets to nurses). He said he never gives nurses tickets and to do the trial by declaration. He said that he will dismiss it. The officer has to argue their side of a trial by declaration, otherwise the ticket is dropped. Well, I paid it, did the trial by declaration, and lo and behold, I got a refund check back in the mail for my payment.
So, I'd say fight it and do the trial by declaration. I'd also say, if you can't afford even one ticket without having to sell parts of your car...you should probably get a cheaper car. (and the Z isn't even an expensive car) or just take the bus.

Lol, glad you got off!
I do trial by written declaration all the time anyways

Somewhere in the thread I DID say that I DO have a surplus of money, in case of REAL emergency, not... Ticket, lol

I paid the ticket, did trial by written declaration... We'll see how it goes!

My most recent ticket, Exhibition of Speed, Misdemeanor...Can not do a TBRD, I have to appear before a Judge.

DEpointfive0 · 09-17-2012, 12:42 AM

Wow, 80 in a 45!

kidkotic2001 · 09-17-2012, 10:40 AM

I got a ticket a while back that I still need to pay 77 on a 55 I am sure it is going to be an very expensive ticket. The only good thing is that every time i call to get price The city still does not have it on file maybe he never submitted it.

I hope my guy doesn't file it too!!!

DEpointfive0 · 09-20-2012, 07:09 PM

$286, I found out because someone I know got the EXACT same ticket...

forza370z · 09-20-2012, 09:09 PM

^^Maybe the guy noticed a cop was around that's why he driving slow?

But I totally agree with you - slow a$$ should be in the right lanes! I HATE people occupying the fast lane while driving slower then the trafic and cause the jam!

Joepro · 09-20-2012, 11:12 PM

If you go to the magistrate and be upfront and tell them you know you were wrong wont happen again blah blah and that BS they most always knock it down to a traffic control device here in PA. You pay a fine, no points. Haven't had one in awhile, only ticket i got in the 350 was for window tint(fingers crossed) but I beat the ticket for a traffic violation by being extremely prepared and having an answer for any question the officer could muster up....always a chance they cant make it too

QuadDragon · 09-21-2012, 05:43 AM

When you buy a Z they aught to make you pay for 5 tickets up front, rolled into your financing.
