actually, a lawyer probably would be worth the cost.  for example 
(unfortunately), i recently got a speeding ticket for 62 in a 45 (well, i 
honestly thought it was 55).  now, the court cost, fine, etc. would be 
$85.  i retained a lawyer to handle it for me for $260, which includes 
the court costs and fines.  the great thing is, i will only get improper 
equipment, which will not put any points on my lisence or insurance.  so, 
imho, the lawyer's fees are well worth the insurance money saved 
($300-400 per year).

i'd definitely at least go talk to a lawyer, and see what they think 
about it.  at the very least, call the law office--they probably handle 
so many speeding tickets that the secretary can tell you how it will go.

good luck,

david
