What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
I got a speeding ticket on a local street in Allson, MA on 12/14/04. It was only 100 dollars but it wasn't fair at all (I really didn't speed this time) and I do not want to get any points. Only the clocked and estaimated boxes are checked on the ticket. The radar box is not checked. I am sure he didn't use a radar. He claimed that I was going 50 on a 30 mile zone. However, the speed limit sign was not posted. It says "not posted" on the ticket as well. What requirements does he have in order to issue a ticket based upon clocked and estimated? It was on a small bridge that went up and down, and he definitely did not travel a long distance. The distance between the starting point of the bridge and where I got pulled over is 0.2 mile. I went uphill and downhill on the bridge. I was definitely not going at a speed of 50 mph. I understand he had to fill up his quota, but how could he issue a ticket based on what he saw. What defense can I give in court? Thank you for your attention.
