What arguments might work to get oneself out of a speeding ticket will vary from judge to judge. I sat in on traffic court recently where a defendant tried asking for calibration records, etc. only to have the judge exclaim: "I know what you're up to and I'm not about to turn this into a `federal case'. The judge then proceeded to declare the defendant guilty.

(Which is all too common, but not usually so blatent.) I hope whoever it was demanded a retrial. -- _____ /_____\ from the flying doghouse of /_______\ Snoopy |___| ____|___|_____ ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
