Yeah, I wasn't clear on that point either. Once years ago, about 20 I think, I got a ticket for going 88 in a 55 by a cop who pulled up behind me and rode my bumper for a while then pulled me over, no radar. Since it was more than 20 over the limit I had to go to court and I did take a lawyer. He talked to the judge about my previously spotless driving record and basically asked for mercy (I was guilty in this case) from the judge, and I was given mercy. I paid court costs and the lawyer and nothing went on my record. Amazingly, that's my only speeding ticket ever to date, knock on wood.

Just for clarity, GZ250, which was it, a cop that ticketed you or an automatic thing that just snapped a shot of your license plate? If it was the cop, did he use radar or just match your speed by following you?
