Bigs, YOU BETTER go to f'n court and fight that pig. it is BULLSHIT. The one thing is that all this will matter what JUDGE you get. You did admit to 'speeding'. There are multiple things that can go right for you, now keep in mind this is Illinois rules but my guess is that are somewhat the same. You should have asked to see the radar gun as they HAVE to lock it in when they catch you, they also have to show you that it has been recently calibrated.
1) The oinker doesn't show up and you get out, some hate going to court, some love it
2) You plead guity but you will get a fine, and it not go on your record
3) The judge ****s you and you have to pay the $163 plus like $25 for court fees.
4) You can't plead not guilty because you admited it, but I think you can plead no contest. I would ask the people you work with and ask them if they went to traffic court and see what they say
It is worth it to go to court, plus you will be able to state your case
1) You drive the same route every single day using your cruise control at 67 MPH
2) Your clean record (if you don't have one I wouldn't mention this)
3) Going an opposite direction and had the wherewithall to 'radar' me while OTHER cars are around me
4) His assumption that your speedometer needs calibrating or your tires were off, why could he assume that, and if that is the case, doesn't that warrant a warning? How many people KNOW their speedometer is off
5) This is $163 in chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for your two young daughters
