I'm sorry, but I couldn't let this pass.
Unless I am mistaken, this is still the basis of law in the US. Speeding violations are not a criminal offense. Murder is. Rape is.
It is a civil offense-like noise pollution or littering. We should not treat it in the same regard as a criminal act, because it is not.
Police are fallible, radar guns are fallible, technical or legal errors can be made, etc. She was clocked at 71 in a 55. The doesn't necessarily mean she was doing 71 in a 55. Noone really knows (except the Supreme Being of your religious affiliation).
It is her right and her duty to contest this accusation if she so desires-regardless of whether she did or did not break the law. Personally, I would contest it. It is her 1st offense and the court should be lenient-at the very least she should be able to preserve her clean driving record. If OJ Simpson can escape a murder charge, then surely Catherine can contest this ticket and be successful.
