On my ticket, it states that I have to pay $140 because I was going 57 in a 40mph zone, when the speed limit sign clearly states 45mph. The price is different for only being 12mph over, opposed to the 17mph over that the ticket states. Do you think I could bring this up and pay the lower cost ($100)? I have to go to the city police station to pay the fine, so I bet the person I speak to will be familiar with the road I was on, because it's only a few blocks from the station.
IF you go in, or whatever.....do yourself a favor and get ALL your ducks in a row. TAKE PICTURES of the area, and the sign so that you can POSITIVLY identify the spot in question. If your lucky, and their is a street sign that can be captured in the pictures as well....that would help.
