*Willravel gets pulled over*
*officer approaches*
*before the officer can say anything, Willravel rolls down the window only a few inches and says*,"Is there a problem officer?
*Stunned, the officer tries the old routine*, "License and registration. Do you know how fast you were going?"
Willravel: *handing over license and registration through the few inches that the window is open* "No officer. Is there a problem?"
Officer: "You were going 45."
Willravel: "..." (you do not have to admit any guilt in this case. you can simply stare blankly. If you have said you don't know how fast you were going, you are admitting no wrong doing. Remember: it's not a crime to say you don't know how fast you were going)
Officer: "Do you know the speed limit?"
Willravel: "No, sir."
Officer: "It's 40 here."
Willravel: "..."
Officer: "Step out of the car please."
Willravel: *steps out of the car, CLOSES AND LOCKS THE VEHICLE* "Is there a problem officer?"
Officer: "Why'd you lock the car?"
Willravel: "Habit." (Please note that this a-hole probably was going to try and search my vehicle without a warent. Closing it and locking it basically stops him completly)
Officer: "Do you have any illegal contraband in your vehicle?"
Willravel: "No, sir."
Officer: "Then you don't mind if I take a look." (this is a very common ploy. If I were to say, "sure", then I would be waving my right)
Willravel: "Actually, I do mind. Are you going to write me a ticket, sir?"
Officer: "..."
Willravel: Booyah!!

Hundove, you admitted guilt to speeding. What you said is being used against you and is, unfortunately, 100% legal. Unless you somehow get some serious sympathy and luck your way, you'll have to pay. Next time, let the officer do all the talking, so as to avoid falling into his or her trap. The only way to fight this is to prove that the speed limit was 55, the flow of traffic was actually moving fast than you, and that the officer lied. 5 mph over the limit is nothing, and will usually be thrown out.

Let me know if you need any help. Civil rights are my speciality.
