This occurred in Texas.
I'll try and keep this story as short as possible.
I was making a left from my neighborhood in order to go to school. I turned out onto the 2 lane road, and behind me were four cars followed by an LEO officer. I was in my roommate's car which is a pretty big cop magnet (Subaru STI), anyways next thing I know I'm getting pulled over.
The first thing the cop told me was that he was off duty. My roommate didn't have valid registration or insurance for his car so I was given 2 tickets for that on top of a ticket for following to close.
Now my question is the cop is four cars behind me on a single lane road, how would he have seen me following too close? Secondly, if the cop doesn't know fast I was going how could he possibly say I was following to closely?
Also the ticket for following to closely is $160 which is completely ridiculous, considering at no point was I ever "following anybody to closely."
I have an excellent attorney that is willing to take it to court (or at least threaten to in order to get a better deal), does it sound like I have any type of chance or no?
