Ok, here is my question. After doing some searching and not being able to find anything, I figure I'll go ahead and bug you guys.

The Problem:

I was driving back to Laredo, TX from San Antonio, TX after a day trip to pick up some things. I was driving a 2005 Chevy Crew Cab Pickup, using the cruise control set at 70mph (speed limit) when I was pulled over by TX DPS. After I had stopped, the trooper came up and asked me to get my license and insurance and get out of the truck. Told him that my insurance was in the glove box and got it and got out. He had me stand in behind the truck while he checked my record and what not. While he was doing that, another trooper who was sitting in the DPS car got out and walked over to the front of the truck and started looking around the inside, didn't open any doors, just looked thru the rolled down window. The 1st trooper told me that I was pulled over for speeding, that I was doing 84mph. I nicely asked where it was I was speeding, not that I was arguing it, I was just curious where it happened, He responded by saying "Oh, back there a ways." He filled out the ticket, handed it to me to sign, I signed, and was on my way. After everything was done and over with, I was looking at the ticket a little more closely and noticed that the year of the vehicle is wrong, and instead of 84mph, its listed as 86mph. Since I was pulled over by DPS, the court is in Pearsall, TX.

My Question:
Is there anyway of fighting this? It is my 1st speeding ticket.
BTW, I checked the cruise control after everything, and it stayed on 70 the entire time.

Thanks in advance for your help
