What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I was stopped for doing 56 in a 35 zone. The problem is that I was doing 40. The officer pulled over another car that was in front of me, and then pulled me over. This was 2 cars in one ENRADD stop. I know I don't have a chance in heck of beating this by simply stating the truth, which is that I had cruise control set at 40, and that's how fast I was going. I am sure the cop read his ENRADD device properly. It's just that a million cars look just like mine, and from the distance he was sitting, he saw a silver SUV, period. He pulled over the other car about 2 miles up the road, and then flagged me down. He stated that I was ahead of the other car when he clocked me. Simply false. There may have been another silver SUV, but by the time he caught up to the 1st violator, the 2nd violator was probably gone, and he mistook me for the 2nd violator. How else did the other guy get so far ahead of me? Other than going through all the steps of calibration, etc., what can I do here? Why isn't there a photo taken of the vehicle that is clocked above the limit. It seems that, on a busy roadway, officers parked so far from the road can easily mistake one vehicle for another. I can't afford a ticket or the points. And it really sucks that I am going to suffer the effects of an honest mistake by the cop. But, mistake or not, I am innocent. I've been driving over 30 years and never had a ticket. Simply put, I don't speed. Please help!!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PAWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
