Wow! That's harsh! A retired attorney friend of mine used to say, Most people talk them selfs into trouble. I hope you didn't admit to anything. Also check into the legallity for impounding and holding your car. Are their any witnesses? I would question this. Tickets without radar can turn into your word against the officer's. Could this have been mistaken identity? I'd start searching net for posts and sites on how to beat a traffic ticket! I saw a cool commercial for a search engine. A hot babe got pulled over for speeding in her porsche 356 speedster, The commercial eluded to fact that with the help of the internet. This hot babe was able to avoid a ticket because she knew more than the traffic cop. Goood Luck, You'll need it!!
