Just explain to the Judge, while you are (wearing a nice outfit with a neck
tie), that you could not pull over in that area due to dangerous conditions,
so you planned on pulling over off the ramp,and that what the officer did
was inexcusable that he pulled in front of you causing you to almost hit him
and that he put your life along with your wife and kids at stake,.. Be
polite about it. explaine that yes you were doing the speed on the ticket,
but you disagree with the eluding officer. The Judge may just let you go
period, and just have you pay court costs. which is usually a very small
fee. like 20.00 . Good Luck, OH YEAH! I would say someone ruffled that
Troopers feathers earlier in the day, he had a serious burr up his Ass!

Subject: DML: Got losta points today need some advice ( kinda long)
> Hi all, been a long time lurker here with a 2001 quad.
> Well today, Received my first ticket in 15 years and made up for lost
time:) I was going 20 over the posted limit so I have to go to court,
problem is the officer was a real jerk and had a chip on his shoulder. He
perfomed a blocking manuever on me by pulling in front of me and my 3 kids
and wife who were with me forcing me to slam on my brakes and I still tapped
him gentlyhowever there was no damageto either vehicle.

> There was no safe way to stop on the extended offramp I was on and I
was planning to proceed slowly to the next exit in sight and pull over then,
I was slowing with my brakes on and my right blinker on to signal I did see
him and was pulling over. The total distance from where he pulled out and we
stopped was less than 3oo yards.
> My questions is, what steps do I take now? I have to go to court for
the speed, he also added eluding police after I asked if his badge and name
was on the ticket. I plan on filing a complint, Do I just plead my own case
in court? never had to do this before and hope some of you can offer advice.
I'm not interested in beating the speeding ticket, i was, the eluding police
is 12 points and I'd like to beat that one:)
