What is the name of your state? MN
So I was pulled over yesterday in Minneapolis by one of three officers standing on the side of Penn Avenue as I was headed back to the office from lunch. As I approached where they were stationed one officer walked into the street and waved me to pull over. He told me I was doing 42 in a 35 (may have been 30) zone and I was getting a ticket for speeding. Anyhow, he gave me my ticket and I left and went back to work. As I was driving to work, I noticed the ordinance he cited was "unreasonable acceleration". I was initially about 1/4 mile away at a stop light when they probably started clocking me but I absolutely didn't unreasonably accelerate. From what I've read the prima facie evidence has to do with squeeling your tires; well with the type of car I drive (a4 quattro), it's nearly impossible to spin my tires unless there is snow on the ground.
Long story short, I'd like to fight this is court to see if I can have it dismissed. For one, he cited me differently than why he told me I was pulled over. Secondly, it's not possible for me to squeel or chirp my tires which would constiture "unreasonable acceleration".
Any advice would be appreciated.
