My question involves traffic court in the State of: Idaho
My spouse is a local news reporter and, after finishing with a 45 minute long live shot, went back to her news car and found a State officer waiting for her. He said that he clocked her doing over 90 mph, but "lost her", and then found her by asking dispatch if there were any news crews in the area ( which they knew since she was interviewing a county officer ). He then proceeded to give her a ticket for an incident he claims to have coincided with her trip out there.
Since we've just moved from the Texas flatlands to the mountains in Idaho a few months ago, my wife just got comfortable driving the posted speed limit in the new terrain, so a 20+ mph over ticket doesn't make sense. The cop also told her that he had pulled over 3 other reporters in the last month and gave her a speech about speeding to get stories, so he seemed to have a grudge for her profession.
I think this is definitely something that screams "contest me!". Is there a gaping loophole in this story? What would be the easiest defense of something like this? I tried doing some research, but I couldn't find any comparable cases, stories, or information online.
Thanks for your help everyone.
