I was driving on the road at 10 pm and i was on the right lane, and the cop was on the left finding an excuse to stop me.

Sure, go for it. Hire several lawyers, spend a lot of money on it. Don't let them push you around. Tell them you voted for bush (or will when old enough).

I would pay the ticket and be more careful next time. You have to abide by the work zone speed limit whether it is night or day or if they are working or not. Usually cops have better things to do than pick on you and try to find an excuse to stop you.There are signs posted at the beginning and end of work zones and it also says Fines Double In Work Zones ,read the law in your state but in kansas that is the way it is.as far as I know you can take it to court but I dont think is something you can win and then you will have to pay the cost of an atttorney and the court costs involved

Only if there was a sign posted specifically stating "Speed Limit 35mph When Workers Present"...otherwise, until whatever work they're doing is completed, the temporary speed limit is 35, and you were speeding.
The WORST thing you could do in court is act indignant or combative. ALWAYS act as though you have complete respect for the law, and respectfully state your case...IF you have one to state. Otherwise, plead guilty if you are guilty, and sincerely apologize. Otherwise, you show no remorse, and will get hit with higher fines.

Possibly.
The definition of a "work zone" may include limitations on when it is, in fact a work zone. The presence of actual workers may or may not matter, but the time of day probably does.
One thing is fairly certain, if you plead Not Guilty and show up for trial and the officer that wrote it does not, it'll be thrown out. You are entitled to be confronted with the witness, that's why.

Yes appear in court on the date scheduled plead not guilty and request a trial by jury. The states attorney may decide to dismiss it altogether. Let me know how it goes for you

you can fight it but you won't win, ( I tried that one here in TN last year) a work zone is a work zone if property marked, the presence of workers does not change its status.

You can probably try anything but I would say no, regardless if they are working or not it's still a workzone with a posted speed limit sign.

If the area was marked,so are you,but go to court to get it lowered.
