I recently got a speeding ticket by a local cop. He said I was doing 51 mph in a 35 mile zone. I know I wasn't going that fast. The road was very curvy and hilly. I didn't see him, but my husband did. When he told me there was a cop, I looked at my speedometer. I was going 40. This cop was using VASCAR, where he measures the time it takes to go between two white lines on the road. He was parked in a driveway between two parked cars. My husband saw the light sticking out above the one parked car. I believe there was no way that he could have clearly seen the lines on the road. I asked him to show me proof that I was speeding and he told me if I wanted proof, I would have to fight the ticket, which I did. In court, this officer swore under oath that we was pulled out far enough from the parked cars to see the lines. This is absolutely not the truth. He lied under oath. When I wanted my husband to testify. The district justice would not let him. I feel violated. HELP!!

properly we do not have a style to furnish. A grievance is taken greater heavily then purely handing out varieties. we are able to take the grievance at any station whether that's greater desirable to call the properly publicized telephone huge style we've. The complainant may additionally circulate 24/7 to the place of work that takes the proceedings, that's centrally placed and removed from any police station so as that they could sense comfortable. Then a civilian investigator takes all the information and does an interview. They then come to a decision who will look into, them, IAD or the community supervisor (relies upon on who undesirable and how authentic the grievance seems to be in the investigator's journey) dispatchers tend to get kinda huge when you consider that they sit down all day and could pay attention to people calling for non emergencies and purely undeniable cr*p. that's complicated for them. Doubt in case you may comprehend coping with the universal public previous asking in the event that they choose fries with that.

Well, nothing you can really do, it's your word against his. He may not even remember you and exactly where he was parked. Do you have ANY idea how many stops they make? this is a tall accusation, calling him crooked. Slow it down next time so he or any other cop have no excuse to pull you over. I'm sure he knows how to work his equipment and in a split second when you looked at the meter, possibly you had slowed down from when he clocked you. Why would a cop just pull you over creating more paperwork for himself. Pay the ticket and slow down!!!!

Appeal your conviction and have it retried again. Get a lawyer and demand proof of the officer's training in VASCAR, the validity of the equipment, and your lawyer can have your husband testify as to his knowledge of the matter.

You have just learned firsthand that no matter what cops do, the system will always take their side.

If you could see him, he could see you. Accept responsibility for what you've done and move on.
