My Speeding Ticket Trial

[rickyjo]

I can understand somebody suggesting that the system shouldn't have allowed the leniency it did, also the driving is a separate issue entirely, but it seems to me that as far as court goes the OP simply did what was in his best interests and succeeded. If there was a fault made it was not his. Also, at least the system was being consistent, if one can get nailed on a technicality why can't someone get off on a technicality? No matter which way one desires the system to operate (letter vs. intent) it would be extremely dangerous for it to not be a two way street (at least not one that does not favor caution in conviction).

BTW: Put me down as strongly on the side of intent (within reason).
