Nabbed On The 400
This is a great and very informative site! Here's my particular scenario: I was in a group of cars coming over the crest of a hill on the 400 near Inisfill. I don't think I was the fastest vehicle. I saw the OPP cruiser immediately and, like everyone else, slowed down. My passenger chastised me for going over 120. The cruiser starts up or at least goes into drive and enters the highway. I was in the center lane and had moved to the slow or right lane. The vehicle on my left and right did the same. The cruisers lights go on and I am expecting that he is going to pull over someone else, however when he doesn't go around me, I pull over. He says, you were going a little fast and takes my license. After awhile he comes back with a ticket for 144 in a 100 zone. My passenger and I were completely shocked!
The ticket has Lidar written on it and seems to have all the relevant info.
I have read quite a lot of the info on this site and on FYST, so I know about disclosure, LIDAR issues, etc.
Therefore, I have some questions: When do you start counting the 15 days to plead not guilty? And do holidays and weekends count. The ticket is from July 23, 2013.
What is the likelihood I will be given a plea bargain and reduction?
Are paralegals worth the money?
Thanks
