ok, heres the deal.... going with traffic, no faster then the rest of the fast lane (following a Benz). Come over a knoll and see two cops out of their cars, didnt see a rader gun but there could have been one. Thought nothing of the situation until about 5 miles later when another cop was standing in the middle of the road pointing at cars as they passed him, The Benz and I both got pulled over and joined the 5 or so other cars already parked on the side of the road. The cop comes to my window, askes for license and registration and says "I clocked you at 73 in a 60" and walks away. (This is on RT 3 South headed to Cape Cod) Comes back about 10 min later and reaches in (no eye contact) and says here is a citation and you registration/license back. The officer walks away. I say "excuse me sir" he looks back, already at the end of my car and continues to walk off. I ended up with what looks like 105 dollar fine for 73 in a 60. I really cant read ANYTHING on this ticket. Terrible handwriting, no idea who the officer is (can barely make out his officer#) or what to do I decide to keep going on. After looking at the ticket I realize that there is a section that I was supposed to sign that states that I understand the ticket. Well I was never informed! What kind of validity does this have? I was moving with traffic in heavy traffic and am not sure that they could really pick me out of the group. I would bet that the benz also got a 73 in 60. How can I get out of this? The cop was a jerk, he wouldnt talk to me, he gave me the ticket and ran. I am going to contest it but need to know what my best defense is... any help is needed/appreciated... also if anyone knows how often cops show up to traffic court in the Boston area that would be nice.
