My question involves traffic court in the State of: Michigan. I received a speeding ticket in Benzie County and I am fighting the ticket because I know I was not going the speed limit the officer states I was. First of all the officer and I were in opposite lanes coming towards each other with a turn lane between us. I was cresting the top of a hill, as well as he was. He states he clocked me 63-63-63. And was nice enough to ticket me for a 55 in a 45. This was on us 31. This officer bumped my ticket back up to the 63 once he found out I was fighting it. Trail is Nov. 3rd. I have since found out that on this section of highway he states he pulled me over had major road construction (the turn lane was added) back in 2003 and it appears there has not been a speed study, done since 1998. However there is a TCO in place for 45, but no enginerring study performed. The officer also sent me by request throught the FOIA his calibration log for my stop and all it says it he checked the motion radar before and after. It does not give specifics. I am also looking for info on the eagle brand radar he used for recalls, any info. would help. So does anyone know where I can confirm that there is in fact no speed survey done for the past 10 years? Thanks
