My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: Washington. Can I fight a speeding ticket when the cross roads the officer said he clocked me at were 3 stop lights prior?
Coming home from the drive-in with friends in my car (with another car of friends following directly behind me), I was in the right lane of a 4 lane city road (2 lanes each direction, speed limit is 25) & needed to move over into the left lane for an up coming turn. A car was in the left lane & we were pacing each other, so I sped up to pass & moved into the left lane, then slowed back down to original speed. I didn't need to stop at the first 2 stop lights which were green, but did at the 3rd stop light which was red, and this was where I was making a left turn (now having gone 8 blocks).
I made my turn in to the left lane (again, 4 lane road) & then move into the right lane. At this point, the officer (who was behind my friends car until they made the same turn I had just completed) also made the turn then passed around from behind them & got behind me & flipped his lights on. I had just got 2 more blocks & was going 30 mph, the posted speed.
He asked me "did I know how fast I was going", but before I could answer he said he'd clocked me at 42 in a 25. Then he proceeded to harass me and tell me about other violations he "could" ticket me for but wouldn't, then he gave me a print out of the ticket. Not once during his talk did he state from where he'd clocked me.
When I got home and read the ticket is when I noticed he'd clocked me 10 blocks & 3 stop lights earlier, & he was never directly behind me until after I'd made the last turn at the 3rd stop light.
He also didn't mention using a Lidar gun so I'm assuming he issued me a pace ticket, to the tune of $158! Is there any way to beat this? Thanks!
