In June I was issued a speeding ticket. The officer claimed I was doing 50 in a 35. There is no possible way on the road I was supposedly clocked on to do 50, the road is narrow and winding and full of holes. I asked the officer to see the radar and he said it was zero. It was also quite a while after I passed the officer that he decided to stop me. I was even in a different town and on another road. I have plead not guilty, but I am not sure what will happen or what my rights are when I appear. It goes without saying this is my first ticket.
I live in Connecticut and would appreciate any help. I woould have paid the fine if I was guilty, but I know I was not even doing over 40. Am I not allowed a reasonable margin for error? Because I believe this officer only stopped me to make his quota. I was once told if you get stopped for speeding you have the right to see the radar and if the officer cannot show the radar reading or a printout that the ticket should be dismissed is that true? I not sure if I should plead guilty to a lesser offense or push for a trial?
