Hello , I am 24 years old and from MA/RI, but this happened in Mass.
Anyways I was with my GF, and Dad, cruising at about 85 MPH, using my signals and driving "safe". I was at Exit 4 on 95 N, when a Mass State trooper came flying up on my ass and pulled me over like I was some kind of criminal, flashing his lights and using his siren in what I thought was excess.
So, he comes up to the car (Audi loaner vehicle) and asks several times in a very rude manner who the salesman was. I politely responed no-one, we are just headed to work. Then he asked me very rudely if I was stupid and then proceeded to tell me I passed him going 90, and he followed me for about 3 miles and I was reaching speeds of up to 110 MPH and weaving dangerously while not signaling. We all know that my GF and dad would NEVER have let me driven in this manner to begin with, not to mention it's just not my style. He took my liscense and reg and walked off to his crusier without addressing my questions I was asking him. Literally walked away when I was in mid-sentance.
After about 5 minutes he returned without saying a word. Thrusted my information and my ticket to me in an almost violent fashion, and drove off without saying another word, again while I was trying to talk to him politely.
The ticket ended up being 685 dollars!!!!! I was "clocked" at 110, and radared at 90. I know for a fact that I did not exceed the high 80's. I feel violated by someone who is supposidly supposed to protect me.... I am going to be appealing this and would like some advise. Anything anyone can give me to help raise my chances of proving this cop was taking advantage of me would be great. I really think he was just angry and decided to take it all out on me. Thanks,
Josh
