I'm surprised you didn't get a break. Cop must have been a hard *** or was simply jealous of a car he couldn't possibly afford on his crappy salary. Or you were a **** about it :P

dont worry, plenty of socal coppers can afford 370z's

expect the ticket to be about 300 bucks. im not a traffic cop (LAPD) so did chp hit you up? they have been giving other coppers tickets lately....they are ruthless!

edit- is 75k/yr for a 24 yr old really that crappy? i must live under a rock......

heck i'd be living good if i made 75k/yr, but prolly not so much if i was living in Cali though. everything there is expensive.

If you have the option of taking traffic school at least once (unlike 5 times per driver in the State of Florida), take up on it. Maybe the individual that pulled you over gave you a break in speed and lowered it in your favor.

If you go to court for it, he/she has the right to amend the ticket to reflect actual speed you were going at the time.

if it helps, 88 in a 70 is $345 in Southern Cali

I got pulled over in OC a few weeks ago for "75" in a 65 but it was an 'estimate'(no proof/radar). He had no chance...

Depending were you live, not in Northern Virginia or DC.
