First thing is that most, if not all, radar units can only clock oncoming traffic. So if he meant by "clocking" you he was pacing you you're likely screwed because its your word against his.

He was on an exit ramp targeting traffic coming towards him. There's an on ramp right after the bridge that he entered the x-way from.

Are you in the Milwaukee area? What city were you in? Was it a trooper or local cop that pulled you over? Didn't they make you pay on the spot with some sort of receipt that you use to fight the ticket if you want?
|
IT was a Racine County Deputy Sheriff and I've never had to pay on the spot, that's reserved for out-of-towners.

What does it say on the ticket regarding how your speed of 83 mph was obtained? Is your car also black? If the speed was by pacing or radar/laser, subpeona the calibration records. See if you can get the ticket thrown out on those technicalities.

The ticket doe not say how the speed was determined but I'm sure the report does, I'm guessing radar. My car is a dark(er) blue.

I'd suggest EVERYONE always plead Not Guilty

Back in my younger days I was told by a lawyer to always fight a ticket but the ones I've gotten (it's not that many) I was guilty so I just paid them.
