Recently, I was driving home from Portland, OR back to California. I
was driving at night and a copy hidden on the side nabbed me with a
laser gun going 85 (speed limit was 65). It pisses me off especially
when so many drivers were still passing me and apparently were getting
away with it. The cop was extremely polite and told me I was on audio
and video surveilance. I don't recall wether I admited any wrongdoing
on tape.  The ticket is $240, which is shocking considering that a
20mph over limit in my home town (an expensive area of CA) is cheaper
even in a residential area. I don't have the time to drive all the way
back to Oregon and fight this.
I would like to know what my options are.
Is there any way to fight this remotely to get a reduction in fines,
or to get an extention on paying the fine? Looking for hear from
others with similar experiences.
Thanks
