I got a ticket for speeding, when my speedometer only read 55 MPH; and the speed limit was 60MPH in that area, and I knew I wasn’t speeding… Then I was in a long line of traffic that had all slowed down because of the rain! When I told the traffic officer that I wasn’t speeding, she pulled me out of the vehicle and frisked me, and she asked if I had been drinking and made me take a breath test and do a sobriety test.
I was just heading to the condo from work, and I had done nothing wrong.
I asked the police officer what had put him in such an exhausting mood; which I knew I should never have done. The next thing I knew, I was in handcuffs, kneeling in the back of the parol car, while she was running my license and identification to see if I had any outstanding arrest warrants. When she handed me the ticket for speeding, I was totally shocked. I wanted legal advice about what had happened, and the ticket. I called my own attorney, and she made an appointment for me to come in and talk to him. She told me I could pay the ticket, and maybe the police officer wouldn’t bother me, although she didn’t feel that was likely… Since I had finally talked back to him, she may have already marked me, and I could get harassed by other cops who knew him. Her legal advice was to take the ticket to court and tell the judge everything that had happened. The police officer and my attorney were going to be there with me.
