"Paced" means he was behind you trying to go the same speed you were going. So if he matched your speed, he can look at his speedometer and see that you were going 40. You can also look at the violation you were charged with. Sometimes the violation cited is not for being over the posted speed limit, it is for unsafe speed, which less dependant on your exact speed. As far as contesting the ticket, if you have the time and do some fact gathering, maybe you can convince a judge that you were not in violation. If you go to court, it isn't going to be any worse, but you could get off with traffic school or something.

My father was a cop and he told me some simple ways to avoid getting a ticket.  Here they are and I will keep it simple so everyone can do it:\n\n1)  Pull way over so the poor guy doesn't feel like he is going to get run over by being on the edge of traffic.\n\n2)  Be polite, you are not being singled out.  If you weren't doing anything wrong, you wouldn't of been pulled over.  Don't sass the cop.  Treat him with respect and use rank and name or call him Officer or Trooper.\n\n3)  Don't deny you were doing something wrong.  See #2.  If you deny you were doing something wrong it is akin to calling him a liar\n\n4)  Have your drivers license, insurance information, and registration ready when you are approached.  \n\n5)  Keep your hands in full view of the officer\n\n6)  At night turn on your inside cab light so he doesn't feel a threat of possible attack.\n\n7)  Keep him talking as long as you can while not abusing him or denying you are wrong.\n\n8)  Use your manners!  Show respect and dignity for law enforcement.  Remember it is their turf and you are on it, the officer has the power and you need gentle application of it.\n\n9)  Smile\n\n10)  Thank him for letting you off!

Suppose it was not a photo system but instead a cop standing there. If the local rule is no tolerance for speeding you would have gotten the same ticket for 41 in a 40 zone. So the camera has nothing to do with it. \n\nBesides even if the camera observed you going over the limit there is still a review by a human who will see the speed number on the image.\n\nWhatever the local rule is that is taken into account in the tickets (and I am sure 1 mph over is not considered violating a speed limit).

Normal driving speeds should be acknowledged during transport.  However, if the officer is in proximity of another 911 he can exceed the speed limit in order to respond.\n\nDuring a routine traffic stop I was once arrested for "not having drivers license on person."  Which is a discretionary ticket.  I had left work on the night shift for lunch and left my purse in my locker?   I was hand cuffed behind my back and placed in the car.\n\nThe officer received a call to respond to a possible drug related incident?  He flew 120 MPH to a house in the country.  I sat in the back seat while they busted a house.  The officer came to the patrol car and told me to lay down.  I asked if he could loosen the cuffs because they were cutting into my wrists?  He said he couldn't do that.  The officer put the drug dealer in car with ME.\n\nThen he drove like a bat out of hell for 20 minutes to get to the station.  I even asked the officer if he had to drive so fast, and could he legally do that?  He said "I can in this case".\n\nI mentioned this when I went to court?  The fine for my misfortune should have been release upon ICS or ISS or what ever they call into?  My court fine?  $900!\n\nI would say that the officer can validate his speed by any means of responce and/or immediate call for assistance.

The police will not fine you.  The court would handle the disposition of the case.  The police merely write the original ticket.  If you have a question, maybe your best bet would be to call the court and ask.  If there is any fine it would be imposed by the court, so don't admit to anything.  The law in PA states that the tinting must not prevent someone from seeing inside the vehicle.\n\nTITLE 75 Section 4524 (e)(1) of the Pennsylvania Common Statutes states that\n\n(1) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle through the windshield, side wing or side window of the vehicle.\n\n\nNote that the law only prohibits tinting which prevents a person from seeing or viewing the inside of the vehicle. It does not prohibit all tinting or tinting below 70%.\n\nThe Law therefore implicitly permits any tinting which does not prevent a person from seeing or viewing the inside of the vehicle.

63 mph in a 30 zone !!!!!!!!!!!!! are you some kind of idiot, i hope you get a ban as you deserve one, at over 60 mph you could have killed someone, if a child had steped out in front of you there is no way you would have been able to stop. Speed cameras are there to stop people like you !!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO!!!! Hey PD that was a nice one!!!!\n\nHeres one for you - \n\nA police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange: \nOfficer: May I see your driver's license? \nDriver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI. \nOfficer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle? \nDriver: It's not my car. I stole it. \nOfficer: The car is stolen? \nDriver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there. \nOfficer: There's a gun in the glove box? \nDriver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk. \nOfficer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!? \nDriver: Yes, sir. \nHearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation: \nCaptain: Sir, can I see your license? \nDriver: Sure. Here it is. \nIt was valid. \nCaptain: Who's car is this? \nDriver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner' card. \nThe driver owned the car. \nCaptain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it? \nDriver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. \nSure enough, there was nothing in the glove box. \nCaptain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it. \nDriver: No problem. \nTrunk is opened, no body. \nCaptain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk. \nDriver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too.

It depends on your state, city and the judge. If you are trying to beat the ticket (assuming you are sure you were not speeding).., you're only hope is a slim one. Ask if the Radar Gun had been calibrated that day. \n\nSome judges may feel generous and ask the policeman to verify that the radar gun had been calibrated before use.\n\nFIRST OFF..., when you get pulled over watch the attitude and be cordial / nice. You ask the officer first thing, "Can I help you Officer"?  People are idiots when they start off harassing a cop. Cops are human. Be nice, generally speaking, they will be nice.  If I pick a verbal fight with you, you'll get an attitude - so you darn well better check the attitude because cops are no different than you and I in the mood department.\n\nIf the policeman says you were speeding - don't get worked up into a lather. Simply state something to the effect of.., "Officer, I am not calling you a liar, but I honestly do not think I was going that fast".\n\nYou work the conversation from there - BUT - keep your cool if he is adamant and not even going to let you off with a warning. Now days if you tick a policeman off by being rude - you can get hit with other citations - and they may even look your car over for lights being out, improper exhaust system, poor tire tread.., etc.\n\nThe most important advice I can give is just be "nice". Even if that fails - thank the Officer when you get the ticket or even if he lets you off the hook.\n\nPlease note that being nice does not guarantee he will skip giving you a ticket when he knows in his own mind you were speeding. But it certainly gives you that potential - because face it.., cops have a thankless Job. Not many appreciate what they put up with. Put yourself in the cop's shoes and imagine you putting up with thankless idiots who get ticked off because you are doing your job. Wouldnt you feel better if someone talked to you like you were human?\n\nLast word - its not always words that can irk a cop. I could say "Yes sir and no sir and thank you" all day long, but if I am giving him devil eyes all the while - silence can indeed speak louder than words. Actions - have to represent the words.

The officer has the discretion to give you a ticket or just a warning.  Look at a warning as a polite reminder from the police to drive more safely.  It does not go on your record.

I don't think the cop could enter or interfere.  Maybe the best he could do is radio it in and wait for an answer.

Go to court and plead guilty.  I have been to court many times and have seen people try to prove that the radar gun is not calibrated properly...All I have to say is good luck.  Again, plead guilty and ask for leniency.  Especially if it is your first offense.  In MD, the have what is called probation before justice where the fine is reduced by half and no points are given towards your driving record.  Again, I have never been screwed by going to court and pleading guilty, always had the fine reduced and points reduced or eliminated.  Never just pay the fine.  I hope that is what you were asking.  To get out of a speeding ticket, just apologize and ask if there is any way they can cut you a break.  I've gotten out of a handful of tickets with just a warning by being respectful to the officer.

Even if you did try to fight the ticket on the basis of a box not being checked, you would lose.  This is just an administrative mistake on the citation and doesn't change anything.  All that needs to be done is a quick admendment to the ticket and it would be correct.  Cops are human too, and they will make mistakes.  There are literally hundreds of forms that cops have to deal with everyday.  The fact that a box wasn't checked doesn't change the fact of the violation.

Are you a cop?...If so try and be less obvious.

Police anywhere need probable cause to pull you over. But it can be over something simple. You car looks like one that has been stolen, your tail light is out, you're speeding.... MOST cops are actually just doing their jobs and not trying to be jerks about it. But you have a few who take the job to their head. There are also situations where they are looking for someone or something and they can pull cars over at random for searches. But I believe they have to tell you if thats the case.

Yes drivers are instant boneheads when they see a patrol car; my favorite is while standing out writing a ticket everyone slams on their brakes to slow down because they were speeding.  Now explain to me; how is an officer suppose to jump in his car at 0 miles per hour and catch up to the speeder at 75 mph and give them a ticket?
