anyone here fight a speeding ticket?
got pulled over by a state trooper on Hwy 99 in Lynnwood. I was going uphill from a dead stop trying to pass someone on my right. Saw a state trooper coming from the opposite direction so I slowed down. Right as he got about 10 feet in front of me, my escort goes crazy. He lights up and makes a U turn after me. Now I am thinking to myself, I hella made sure I slowed down long before my radar went off. So before I can ask him to show me radar, he threatens to put me and my wife in handcuffs because I gave him probable cause to search my car for illegal contraband. DOUBLE YOU TEE EFF!. Just because I turned my screaming radar detector off (before I even pulled over) So I shut my mouth and said nothing until he came back with the ticket (60 in a 45mph). Just to give you an idea, it was daytime and me and the wifey were in our Sunday best. Definitely not giving the impression we were hoodlums or anything.
