Are speed traps illegal?
« on: April 17, 2007, 12:34:06 PM »
I got another fucking speeding ticket :-\...I got pulled over for driving 65 in a 50 mph zone by a cop just chillin' on the shoulder and pointing his radar at cars to catch people speeding...I asked dude to cut me some slack and he's like, "this is a special operation, I'm sorry, I can't let you off with a warning"...Fuckin piece of shit. I remember hearing somewhere that speed traps were illegal? How true is this and how much of a chance do I have of fighting this ticket succesfuly with that as my primary excuse? I recently convinced a judge that I was driving in the car pool lane to avoid an accident and had that ($1000) ticket waived off...But I really don't know what I can say to avoid the fine of this ticket? I still have one stop sign ticket that I need to pay and 2 parking tickets. :-X


Would you pay these tickets or would you fight any of them? And does anyone have any info regarding speed traps being illegal? Any opinions would be appreciated...PeACe

I agree, but I remember hearing that speed traps were illegal...I'm actually pretty sure it was on this board too.

Ask him how long he's had the speed trap set up for.... if he gives you any answer that doesn't deny he did in fact set up a speed trap.. then just say "did you know that speed traps and speed trap evidence are illegal?"... even if he still writes you the ticket, if you bring this up in court, your case will be dismissed... but most likely the cop will just let you go on the spot.


Anyone have details on this?

why fight it. you were driving over the speed limit, a cop spotted you, gave you a ticket, get over it. pay it and move on...

Just maybe to save money, I guess? :)
