I don't have to because others already posted many reasons why you are a stupid dumb ass.
LOL, okay, keep telling yourself that. To any reasonably intelligent person you'd be the one looking like a dumb wit because you use zero arguments and just regurgitate the same personal insults over and over again.
Hint: only retards go out of their way to personally insult others while providing no arguments for what they say.
The government sets the laws. You break the laws you pay the penalty. Same as God in any religion. You break his laws you go to the negative place you believe in, not the positive one.
Doubt it. The people that do contest it here are most of the time met with the excellent news that the officer did not show up. If the rare event does happen that he shows up, I'll have to use the circumstances to get it lowered.
The last sign you passed did not say 50mph, otherwise it would have been speeding 60mph in a 50mph.
The last sign you passed is the limit, until a new sign says otherwise. If a road is unmarked, depending where the road is, an X limit is imposed. In a small urban area 35mph. Country can be 45 depending on stat laws.
Read your state driving rule book.
And Remember, if you go to court and are found guilty, you will have COURT fees added onto the $150, + gas and other utilities to get to and from the courthouse.
And regardless. If you go into court and tell the Judge you sped 60 in a 50 and not a 60 in a 40. YOU STILL SPED. And will be fined regardless. Once it gets into court even 1 above the limit you can be fined for.
That doesn't mean that they're infallible, which they are.
Or maybe there was a sign before but it was taken down or something? The 50MPH area was just a country road type of area, and the 40MPH area was a commercial area (businesses on either side).
When you add up lost wages, time spent in court etc you're over $150 (assuming you have a job), it's really not worth the time and the effort when you are obviously in the wrong and have stated multiple times that you were speeding, especially if this is your first offense.
If a sign was removed, the limit would have been removed as well... They don't just remove signs for the fun of it.
This. It will happen one of 5 ways.
1) Pay the ticket, move on. Learn a lesson
2) Go to court. Cop isn't there. Lucky break.
3) Go to court. Cop shows up. You are found to be guilty, maybe a slight reduction of the fine to the minimum (which I think is $125 which is the lowest amount of the lowest fine states). Than you pay court fines, gas money, wage loss. Anything else you can add in, along with a 1-2 hour period wasted.
4) Number 3, except you don't get a reduction to the minimum speeding ticket fine.
5) Fight the ticket and get hot headed and argue over and over how unfair it is you broke a law and don't want to pay, to a point you are put into jail for a few days on top of the speeding ticket fine and disorderly conduct in a court room fine and all fees associated.
I don't mean that they themselves took it down. I mean someone else.
In any case, I'll have to use that if the cop does show up. The roads here can either be good quality or horrible, but they all have problems with things like lines not being painted, so they don't get maintained a lot.

Pedestrians walking along at 12:30 AM... LOL, k.
There WAS a time,(back in my day), when cops COULD NOT park on the side of the road with all their lights off.
That doesn't mean that they're infallible, which they are.
You go tell that to the judge. See if he finds it as funny as you do.Pedestrians walking along at 12:30 AM... LOL, k.
So...you were either going 60 in a 50mph zone, or going 60 in a 40mph zone.And I just checked and in the area there weren't posted speed limits. About 1/2 a mile from where I was stopped there was one for 50MPH and 1/4 mile up from where I was stopped there was the posted 40MPH limit.
20 over? That's reckless driving in most places. Expect a very expensive ticket and your insurance to go up substantially.

YES, it happens. Not a lot of them, and it depends on the area, but there are some every so often. Ever heard of someone walking home instead of driving because they were at the bar and had too much to drive?
Depends on the state. Ohio still requires them to have their regular lights on. Ohio also doesn't allow for unmarked cars.
Doesn't matter. The law is the law, and you broke it. There is nothing morally objectionable about it either, so it isn't one you can justify breaking for reasons of conscience.
Grow up.
I take it you also advocate stopping and ticketing everyone who goes 80-85MPH on the interstate instead of the posted 55-65MPH limit, right?
They go at that speed because it's safe for the conditions. I was going at 60MPH because 1) it's 12:30 AM and there's no traffic or civilians and 2) I wasn't expecting a 5-lane road to have such a low speed limit. It was safe for the condition, but clearly not safe for the police department's wallet.
Think about that before you say to anyone they should "grow up."
