I've been told to never try to argue a speeding ticket when you were bucked into a five-point harness.
One day my daughter and her friend were riding with my wife to a church function and got pulled over. The cop said he estimated her speed at 45 mph and added that "This must be your lucky day...I did not have my radar gun turned on." But then he returned with a ticket for going 45 in a 30. We appeared in court and the prosecutor wanted to meet with all defendants who were pleading Not Guilty. They were dressed very sweetly including my 12 year-old daughter who had heard the officer admit that his radar gun had not been turned on. We also had a copy of the additional report filed by the officer, which asserted he had verified speed by using his radar gun. The prosecutor elected to simply drop the charges. The judge seemed curious, but the prosecutor was good at verbal tapdancing, so he moved on.
