I can't be bothered to read the entire thread, but changing cars / plates won't do much. Police communications in good ol' Midland ("Hi Ken Walker, I'm still waiting for my summons") are using a system where they can get any details of the owner from the houses they have owned, convictions etc etc in the blink of an eye. I wonder whats under my name atm hehehe

hey dude i know it means spending money but get yourself a voice recorder that uses tapes not digital. everytime you get stopped start it with the time and date then put it in your pocket where it can't be seen, be polite and talk to him. then when you think you've got enough go and see his boss with a copy of the tape, keep the originals.
If it doesn't stop then the nexty step is the ombudsmen with the same set of steps.
Let someone else drive your car like a relative and see if they get stopped and see what happens to them.

And of course I have to ask what you did to piss him off, have you met his wife?

Its almost as braindead as the people who write into the paper saying captain obvious shit like "If you don't speed you wont get caught speeding" CLAP CLAP.

INstead of stating the bleeding obvious why dont you try discussing the merits of the road laws OR maybe even how Creepin a fellow wrx owner might get off this bogus charge.

Sometimes, it's hard to believe that half u guys dont drive magna's the way u crap on about speeding.

hey polar bear. you're all talk. when we see some ACTION along with all your TALK, then maybe some ppl will give u a bit more RESPECT. greg obviously did something wrong to piss of this ONE police officer. he should just tone his car down a bit and lay low to retify this current situation. the rest of us have every right to modify our cars... but if we drive like idiots on the road, then we can certainly expect to get harassed by the cops. it's only fair.

Police would need to prove beyond doubt that Greg was doing over the speed limit with a "speedcheck". I'm not sure on the procedure of the "speedcheck" but one would imagine that some form of standard controlled method is used.

Anyone want to comment if this is true or know of the procedures indepth for a speed check?

Since you were pulled over by two officers, I am sure they would have gotten their story straight between them both. (I don't mean this in a bad way)

So i don't think this would help you much either.

Do you recall passing any speed signs saying 80? I think you need to be doing 80 at the point of the sign, so if you were in a 100 zone prior to passing the sign, then you could say that you were slowing down to this speed.

Assuming it was a 100 zone prior...

However all that being said, its easier and safer not to speed nor be a leadfoot.

Their speed check is basically "I have been a traffic officer for so and so years, and in my experience, he was going at his speed". When the second officer confirms this, as they will do, the judge will lean towards them and usually favour their story...
