Default is this fair??

I was on 795 comming home from college to pick up my sister and i get pulled over for speeding......there were three things that pissed me off about this:

1) It was an undercover mustang (here in md, we have lots of undercover mustangs and explorers)

2) After he got behind me and flashed his lights on, a 240sx shot past me doing like 110 and the cop totally ignored him

3) I was doing 84 in a 60 and he game a $135 TICKET!!!

Does the price of the ticket seem fair?? I mean, i didn't **** him off or anything, and i was really polite..........i dont have anything else on my record too......

That`s not too bad. I`ve paid much more than $135 quite a few times.

I would take it to court and say someone in a big v8 mustang was barreling down the highway flashing his lights comming straight for my innocent little civic. So you tried to speed up to get out of this maniacs way and were scared and didn't know what to do. Play dumb, sometimes it works

You may not get out of the ticket but they may reduce the fine. I used to go plead with judges and tell them that I wanted to pay the money but I didnt have it. They always gave me an extension and reduced it by at least 50%.

i got a 81 in 65 in the left lane with 3 other cars going 90 past me.

just cause i have a black hatch, they targeted me.

when the cop to my door, he said "this is the wrong guy" and then he let the other cop (cause cops pull u over in 2 now) go........

so yeah 16 mph over and i got a $280 or something.
