Double Dipped in Georgetown!


What is the name of your state? South Carolina Hi All, I was driving to bike week in Myrtle Beach with a friend on our Harleys. We were approaching Murrels inlet heading North on 17. We were overtaken by a truck and pulled into the right hand lane. My friend pulled in behind the truck immediatley, and I pulled back in the left lane a few seconds later. A south bound officer turned around in the median, and accelerated up behind me with the lights on. I was 150 to 200' behind my friend and the truck. I pulled into the right lane, and the officer sped past me. The truck and my friend jumped into the right lane, the officer pulled in behind my friend and turned on the siren. He pulled over, as I got to the point they were, I pulled beyond them about 40'. The officer instructed me to provide my documents also. She then wrote me up for speeding too! I am dumbfounded, and can't believe I was written a ticket, and I wasn't speedind anyway. Certainly a radar gun can't clock two people 200' feet apart, as well, from the angle the police car headind south could have ony picked up the truck in front of friend on his bike! So, I have requested a jury trial, my friend paid his ticket, but will be witness for me. I would love some feedback regarding this type of ticketing. BTW this happened in Georgetown SC which is known for creative fund raising via ticket sales. Thanks for any knowledge or advice... chsscdude
