What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I was pulled over for speeding on my motorcycle while riding with two friends. We pulled out from an alley in town and started traveling together. When we pulled out there was a car approx. half a mile behind us coming through town. After approx. 1/4 of a mile after we pulled out I speed up from the other two friends while remaining still in first gear. The officer said that he clocked me doing 68.1 in a 25mph zone. The officer was behind my two friends while he clocked me using a Robic SC 800 ( Stopwatch I think ).Then he passed my friends with no lights turned on and came behind me to pull me over. My questions are: The distance that is noted on the citation is .043 in 2.27 secs. This a really short distance to be timing and I do not see how he accurately came up with this distance to time me while he was behind two motorcyclists that were traveling the speed limit behind me. Is this distance a large enough distance to be admissable? Is an officer allowed to travel over the speed limit and pass in a no passing zone without their lighting turned on? The ticket was only marked as being 161 dollars and this seems low. It was for violating section 3362 sub-section A3. Is there something that I am missing? Any help will greatly be appreciated.
Later that night I tried to go 68 miles an hour while remaining in 1st gear and my motorcycle would only go just over 50 mph while in 1st gear. For this reason I know that I was not traveling at 68 mph when this happen.
