if you have the time fight it....Is the officers name on the ticket?
Were you getting off the prospect expressway???? sounds like that.

Kinda odd that he spotted you traveling at 49mph when your slowing down to a red light.
If he estimates your speed at 49mph thats a pretty good assumption, unless he had his radar gun..........

Cops are dicks anyway..
Your a NYC cop = dickhead. Even if you arent your guilty by association.

I constantly get stopped for no apparent reason. Im learning to deal with it.
Shit I even get stopped when im not in my car.
I get stopped for crossing the street carrying my PC in one arm and eating an ice cream in the other hand. And the cop dares and asks me where am I going with that.......... ( Its great to have a family member up in the ranks in the D.E.A because without him I'd owe so much money on B.S tickets ).

How can the public police the police?
I mean can they just walk up to you and hand you a ticket even though your registration expires tomorrow or give you a speeding ticket with no proof.

I wish the police officers in NY could show professionalism and be courteous like Miami Cops.....No cop up here has ever told me to have a nice day...lol.
