NOW I do, believe me. I have learned my lesson in more ways than you guys could imagine. Hence why I dropped the V8's and went the 4 cylinder route. I am a VERY safe driver nowadays, im getting older, cant do what I did when I was a little younger.

Take it from a high who has driven high-profile vehicles all his life (until now). If there is a way to get out of a ticket, I know it. Sure I have been busted, and not contested it, and I have had attorneys, and I have paid some HUGE fines. BUT, in my example, you CAN get out of it by claiming profiling.

BM,

Are you asking for a police officer to testify to what he DIDN'T see (e.g. other speeders) as opposed to what he DID see (the one pulled over because he had him dead to rights and in radar gun sights)? In the normal course of court cases, witnesses are only asked to tell what they did see.

Don't think you have a chance of making that one work. You can get out of most speeding tickets in many places by merely showing up in court though. The ones who do break the laws do induce drag on an entire system by taking police officers from doing other duties that may relatively be more important in the course of their day.

Consider: more laws broken, more enforcement necessary. What's the gov't response? More law enforcement officers and equipment. Now, wanna speak to increasing taxation?

I'd like to hear if you can make a "profiling defense" work vs a speeding ticket. Even if you aren't speeding...but then, you wouldn't get a speeding ticket if you weren't speeding--probably.

Note: I'm not saying I don't speed, but I don't think I can use some excuse that may be based on other "sensitivities" to get out of paying the penalty when I've done wrong.

SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

I've had many a speeding and reckless driving ticket. If they get you, they get you. If all the other cars drove off a bridge, would you do it too? And who's fault would it be if you did. Next time I get hit I'll try that in court, I might get lucky

the better question is, how can the cop justify in all honesty that you were 1 of 10 that was going the fastest when all are at the same speed?

That's the first time I've heard that. I've always thought that it would be just my bad luck since I WAS speeding. If this is true, how do you prove in court that there were others speeding with you?

It's not profiling if you're the one the radar gun happened to be locked on. I'm sure the boys in blue can't make out the color of your skin a mile down the road.
