Can't say I support going to court and hiring lawyers to get out of something that you clearly did. If you were speeding legitimately, going to court seems like a waste of everyone's time.
When I get pulled over for speeding, I check guilty, sign the ticket, and mail it in.
I speed, and understand the consequences of speeding are getting tickets, points, and a fine. If there was some shady business regarding a speeding ticket, then perhaps I would challenge it in court, but I've yet to be unjustly cited for speeding.

You make the presumption that everyone believes speeding is a crime. You draw the line in saying that the arrest itself was shady, but I draw the line with saying the crime itself is shady. The precise act of speeding does not harm oneself of others. In order for me to grant the validity of a crime, I must agree that it needs to be prohibited for the greater safety of myself or others. In this case, I do not.
Driving with multiple passengers has proven over and over again to present a more obvious causal relationship to accidents than speeding. And yet, I dont see laws making having multiple passengers illegal. If, somehow, it was illegal - would you not try to 'weasel out' of a ticket for something you didn't think was valid?
