What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN.
The police officer gave me a ticket yesterday for "not slowing down quickly enough". I was on my way to a post office. My speed was about 55 on high way. After I entered the small road with 30 miles/hour limit, I reduced the speed. It is a very short street, about 200-300 yards. The officer said that my speed was about 41 when he measured. It must be during the process I reduced the speed. My car already completely stopped in front of a stop sign when he pulled me over.
I told the officer that I have a clean driving record. He smiled and told me that only 30 seconds I would be on my way. I thought he was going to give me a warning. But two minutes later he came back with a speed ticket. What made me angry was that he told me "this is your first and your last ticket". He even asked me to meet with "hearing officer" to settle it without challenging it. Per him, "either way you pay for it".
Do I have any chance at all to fight for this ticket? If not, I will try to settle it with a pay for dismissal.
