What is the name of your state? GA
I was pulled over and told by the officer that she paced me doing 50. I was doing 40. I observed her pull out and come up behing me and then she supposedly paced me for a very short time then hit the lights. I told her it would be absurd that I would knowingly speed with her behind me.
Question 1 - Is there a minimum time or distance that a GA policeman must "pace" a vehicle? This is true in some states.
I have a fairly good math background. I went on Google earth, measured the distance from where she pulled out and where we stopped. Taking into account that I "supposedly" was going 50 mph, I can prove mathematicaly that it would be impossible for her to (a) pull out and accelerate to over 50 mph to overtake me, (b) follow me for a few seconds, (c) lights on, (d) me slow down & pull over to our parked location.
This isn't opinion but absolute proof. So...
Question 2 - if I present this data in court and be really really nice and polite, can I win this case?
