Here is Maryland "The Home of The Speeding Ticket" quota system a number of double speak terms are used among them is the "calibrated speedometer" which is another way of saying...
"I have you for reckless driving (20 MPH over the speed limit) but I'll just write you for a speedometer malfunction which is a far lesser charge....this line is very very common.
Here in the home of STQS a number of traps are seen on I95 N out of Baltimore where they just line'em up from the trap into and out of the Harbor Tunnel where the speed limit on a highway suddenly is listed as 50MPH when 50 miles of 65 was the norm. It's hysterical that all of the traffic slows to 50 while the out of state plate goes 65-70 only to have Jethro ticket tham for an inoperable speedometer.
If you can get the guy to say in court he got you going the other way your out of this one Biggs but if dude embellishes things abot your screwed...
More speeding tickets are written in January than any other month of the year for some reason....
