Says he got me going 88-65...know i wasn't going that fast, when i looked down i saw 81...Went to court to fight it and the cop was good friends with the Judge. $389 ticket and he wouldn't remove the reckless although i never had a ticket before...

I would advise she take one of those driver improvement courses and present that when she goes to court, i'm sure they'll knock off the reckless and just charge money...Good Luck!
Come on man, 81..88 what the difference if you are over 80 anyway. I hear that all the time. How do you know that the time he observed your speed was the time that you specifically looked down. Usually the first reaction is to jam on the brakes and then look down, just saying. Maybe Yorktown is small enough to have officer-judge friendships but that does not happen where I live.
