Denying your actions, blaming other people, or trying to weasle out of a punishment are NOT mature actions.

It's all whiny jerks who don't feel like being ADULTS and handling the manner in a responsible way.

So, the mature thing to do is to pay your ticket, and then continue being a "chronic speeder?" If anything, the fact that you are not slowing down shows that you are also not following the "mature" action.
Now, the OP felt discriminated against. He failed to provide sufficient evidence to that effect, so it is right to question him about it. However, remember that cops are human too. They make mistakes, and appealing tickets in court is one way to fight bad tickets. The OP also did mention that he the cop wrote the high end of a speed range on his ticket, might have even had the speed limit wrong. These are valid reasons to appeal not just to overturn the ticket, but to justly get it reduced in cost. Obviously, there are people who will abuse the system to get tickets they justly received revoked. But this applies to our entire judicial system, if not every system in our soceity.
