Ticket Time



Hey guys,  yesterday was not a good day for me.  I got my first ticket.
Here's what happened.  I got onto the Sprain Brook Parkway around 6:15 AM
going south.  I step on it and hit 80 on the entrance ramp to the highway.
After getting onto the highway I drop down to 60-65 and follow a blue
pick-up.  After about 3 miles I see this big suburban truck slowly creeping
up in the left lane.  I see this and I let up off of the gas.  Now I am down
to 60.  I see lights on top of the roof as he gets closer.  He then pulls up
along side of me and then slows down and gets behind me and the disco lights
came on.  Damn, state police are using 4X4's  now?  Anyway I see in my rear
mirror that there are two cops and they were laughing before one of them
gets out of the truck.  He said that he had paced me doing 75 which is not
true.  By the time he got near me, I was down to 60. So anyway he gave
ticket got back into the truck and pulled away while both of them were
smiling.  Bastards!!!  I am gearing up to fight this one.  First of he did
not use radar/laser, no time lines across the highway basically my word
against his.  I wish I could find the pick-up I was following.  I have 30
day before I plead not guilty.  I think I'll wait to then.  Does anyone have
any ideas on how I could win this?  Thanks guys
