(Georgia)
I was pulled over for doing 79mph in a 50mph by the state patrol. only problem, i had my cruise set at 70mph and from my vantage point their were no signs visible indicating any change in the speed limit first observed. i did not argue with or get disrespectful to the officer either, mainly because at first it seemed like he was going to admit he stopped the wrong car. From where i was stopped a speed limit sign posting 70mph was visible in the distance. he cited me for speeding and speeding in a construction zone, although at the time no workers were present. he told me he clocked my truck on radar but when he gave me the ticket it said laser was used and listed a calibration date, which is odd considering laser only needs calibrating once a year. he also stated he followed us for over 10 miles, which does not make sense. any advice on how to handle this?
