Glad to read about it being somebody else instead of me. About this time last year, i had the same problem. I now have one of the nicest radar detectors made. Anyway, i did a lot of reading on how to get out of a ticket. I went to the public library, and got a book called beat your ticket, go to court and win. I read where a stationary radar detection device had to be visible for at least 500 feet by the sherriff and police. Not the state troopers. He was not. I went to court. I still had to pay the fine, but got it completely removed from my record. No insurance hikes, no loosing my licence, etc., so i was happy. Good luck.
