I ask for the speed at which i was travelling to receive this fine and he said he does not know but judging from his eyes he knew i was speeding (no radar). He fines me $196 and hands me the ticket. He does not proceed to ask me to sign, verifying that I have receive the ticket which i found pretty weird. After I drove off and pulled over i examined the ticket and at the bottom the "Alleged offender's signature" area was indeed blank. I'm not sure how i should be dealing with this ticket. If i did not sign it does that mean I never "received" it, thus not having to pay it? or do i still need to dispute the ticket cause I know I'm being cheated on by the police.
hey man same thing happened to me. i disputed it. the cop even showed up and everything but when he said he didnt know at what speed i was going and he just assumed i was because i accelerated fast but maintained my speed at the limit judge had no choice but to take my side. and besides, if you dont have history of speed on your record it will help you even more. so dispute it, dont pay for it and dont let them give you 3 points.
