RE: Need Advice for Ticket

[Christopher Callahan <chriscal@microsoft.com>]

My buddy out here in WA tried this three times now and got off each time.:
On the front of a WA state speeding ticket there is a small check box to
indicate that you want to contest it.  On the back there is a spot where you
are to write down any requests you have.  This is key because you can
request that the cop be present at your trial.  If you request one and they
don't show up your OFF.  So the trick is is to not have the cop show up.  To
do this, you right with a fat black marker on the front that you want to
contest it.  Then on the back you shove the ticket through your ink jet
printer using a font and color the same as the ticket itself stating that
you want the cop there.  When the court gets you request then never notice
that you requested a cop but the ticket is present at the trial and you just
show the judge that you indeed asked for a cop.  This gets you completely
off with no points or fines.  Not sure if this'll work in PA but its worth a
shot.

OK---this isn't for me...(knocking on wood)

My sister today got nailed for a ticket 59 in a 35.  

The road is a back road outside of town with no clear Marking of the speed
limit where she got on at till where they pulled her over.  The speed limit
prior to that point is marked before the intersection at 45mph.  Also she
swears that she was doing 50 on the road and not 60.  They used that VASCAR
system measuring a distance of only .034 miles on a valley part of the road
that goes down then back up in between the lines.  Now I'm not trying to
make
it seem like she didnt deserve the ticket.  She was speeding.  Just want to
see if she can fight this to get this reduced.  The fine was $151 which is a
lot for her cause she's still in high school.  She is going to get about 4
points for this too.  Is there anything she can do?  Location of the
incident
was Hamburg, PA.

Thanks
