Default I got a Ticket....

I was going about 80mph in a 55zone, up a hill than the second i was going down the hill my radar dect JUMPS to 5 (being closest) and i slam my brakes and go by a damn cop chilling in the middle of the highway. I was like FUCK and unplugged my radar dect and put in under my passenger seat than I watch my rear view mirror. The cops pulled out im like SHIIIIT and i slow down to like 50 than, he pulls me and said I was going 71 in a 55 but I was all nice and stuff so he gave me a ticket that saids 69 in a 55 aint wreckless driving only 14 over.

Court date Dec 30th, I hope I can fight it. He didnt have his parking lights on (shouldnt he have them on?)

Yeah...he didn't do you any favors...71 in a 55 is only 16 over the speed limit. You have to be going 20 over for it to be wreckless.
