McDowell County.
Bobby Hunter is a state representative from there and is a lawyer.  He 
might be able to help you.  I have no interest in his career, I just know 
him from the legislature and he's a nice guy.

Point about lawyer costing as much as the fine.  Yep, but if you just pay 
the fine and plead guilty (his original post is not here so I don't know 
the charge), if it's 10-miles an hour over the limit, you'll get points 
that will run your auto insurance up.... and it will stay up for three 
years.  That's the cost of pleading guilty and paying the fine.  In most 
cases, if you don't have a rap sheet four blocks long, the lawyer can 
negotiate a lower charge that would end up showing no points on your 
driver's license or insurance.

Also there was something about a speedometer being 10% off.  If you've 
got proof, send it to the attorney.
