My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: FLORIDA
Hey guys, Nothing you all havent seen before but yet here I am lol...
Central Florida I-4 Disney area the 417 Access road that runs parallel to the interstate is about 3-4 lanes and seems to simply be a speed trap. Not sure if speed traps are legal but the Speed limit drops from 65-70 to 45mph briefly before climbing back up to 55mph. Which in my opinion as a Firefighter is extremely unsafe given that traffic behind you is subject to the sudden 25mph drop in speed of the vehicles infront of them.
None the less I was accused of doing 72 in the 55. Unmarked Trooper was waiting for me where they ALWAYS wait. Aircraft got me with a stop watch ( i did not admit to knowing my speed because I really didnt. Officer said they were ticketing drivers because it was 4th of July Weekend (July 2nd). Normal traffic patterns everyday are simply people doing normal interstate speeds 65-70 who get off on the access road (not a ramp) and maintain the normal safe interstate speed briefly before slowing down. This is where the FHP Aircraft flies above you and times your pace.
They accuse me of 72mph
1. How Accurate is the Officers reaction time given the avg reaction human reaction time is 1/4 second X a factor of 2 here (Start and Stop)
2. Weather Conditions during flight that could have hindered readings
3. aircraft speed and its relative location to my vehicle which can visually impair or create opticle illusions to where my truck really is in relation to the lines (Perception)
4. How many other vehicles was he Clocking at that time?
I have been attempting to obtain the states evidence of my infraction (motion of discovery) but all they said they had was the ticket itself. How is that proof? I can bring in a piece of paper that says I was doing 55 lol... I mean What the hell!
How can I fight this it just seems sketchy and BS! I see them everyday targeting normal drivers... I wasnt doing 80-90-100 MPH I was traveling at a Safe and Reasonable highway speed on a section of highway lol
Any advice? I have called the courthouse several times and nobody can help me or point me in the right direction for a Motion of Discovery... How can I beat this?
