And the police are going to issue another ticket for the actual speed. That sucks. After that mistake, they should let him off.

It would be cool to have a ticket to stick on the wall with 4 digits for the speed!

I suppose that's a good one to frame and hang on the wall.

Notice the real fine for 15k over is still a hefty $1600 !! That's pretty rough on its own. He might still be getting divorced!

Speed is just distance and time...easy to measure, doesn't take a radar gun.

OK, lets pick nits. Yea speed can be calculated with distance & time. But unless the horse was on a straight piece of road that was measured down to the inch, and the cop was using a very expensive stop watch (for the era) as the horse went across a start & finish line there is no way to get within a few MPH of accurate.
