hey all, im from canada and it seems most of you are in the us so not sure if anyone can help, but advise would be appreciated. before i begin i will state that in nove scotia there are 3 different types of speeding tickets. 1-15km/h, 16-30km/h and 31+km/h
so lastnight i got pulled over for speeding on my bike. the limit is 50km/h within the city. so he tells me that he clocked me at 78 (28 over the limit) i say nothing, askes for licence and all that and goes to his car. when he comes back he say heres your ticket but im going to do you a favor and only give you a ticket for 1-15 above. i said something about it not being a favor (me pissed about it all lol) and the fine isnt the issue its the points. i would rather a $500 littering fine the the speeding ticket. any ways he say again its a favor because he got me at 76 in a 50. i ask to see a print or read out of the radar/laser. he says dont have anyhitng like that, "just my word" as he put it. i take the ticket as i know there is nothing i can say to turn it around at this point. i realize later the he didnt put in a "rate of speed" on my ticket.
so my question is do i stand a chance at winning this in court or having it thrown out? there are a few things with this situation on my side but i dont know. i dont think he actually got a radar reading but knew i was speeding by the sound of my bike, which is loud!! dont they have to have a print out of your speed or is it just his word? if they must provide one he refused to show it to me. he didnt fill in the "rate of speed". he said i was doing two different speeds 76 and 78 (this is what makes me think he didnt actually get a speed reading). by doing his "favor" isnt he actually lying about what actually took place? also he did not fill out a single bit of info for my motorcycle. not the make/model/year/vehicle number/licence plate nothing!
sorry to make this a read just want to let you know the situation. so any chance?
