WAAAAAAA WAAAAAA.
"Going with traffic" or being "close to home" are not mutually exclusive to speeding. How exactly were you discriminated against? Your car got pulled over out of everyone ELSE who was ALSO speeding? What are you, 12? I'm an unfortunately chronic speeder and I've had my share of tickets, but I take RESPONSIBILITY for my actions.
Denying your actions, blaming other people, or trying to weasle out of a punishment are NOT mature actions. Was the officer rude to you? Did he proposition you? Perform an illegal search? Tell me what law he violated or how he "discriminated" against you and you'll have a shred of credibility. I'm giving you tough love because a judge who hears this is going to hear the exact same thing as me. "But Judge, everyone ELSE was speeding too!" "Officer X discriminated against me and pulled me over!!!"
BOO HOO.
Frankly, its unfortunate that this case is going to resolve itself like it will. You're going to go before the DA (not even in a court room) and he's going to offer you a charge of "defective vehicle" or "obscured view," zero point charges with a minimal fine -- because he's too busy to prosecute a small case like yours. And it's unfortunate, because you won't learn the real lesson here. You do something wrong, TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR IT.
I apologize somewhat for the tone, but I read another forum at realpolice.net and there are 10-15 posts of this same tone -- "Mr Evil Cop discriminated against me and pulled me over for no reason.. what do I do?"
It's all whiny jerks who don't feel like being ADULTS and handling the manner in a responsible way.
