What is the name of your state? Tennessee
I was pulled over by an officer and given a ticket for driving 70 in a 55mph zone. On the ticket the radar box is checked. I asked the officer if I could see the radar and he said "sure". When I looked it was blank. His response to this was, "How would you know if it was your speed anyway?" In the notes it says "Passed me lane #1." I do not believe I was traveling 70 MPH. I am trying to decide if I should pay this ticket or fight it. I know that if I plead not guilty then the case would be dropped if I win. and if I loose I would have to pay around $40.00 more. The officer said he didn't have to show me the radar in the state of TN. Is this true? Also the fact that the radar box is checked and not the paced box. Is this mistake grounds for dismissal. How can I be found guilty for driving 70 in a 55 if the officer is simply guessing my speed? What can I do?
