I-95 mile marker 45
driving through town on 4/28/2015 to meet up with grandkids.We were following behind a brown murcery(it going 85ish) it passed us miles back and was slowly pulling away from us, the driver a silver haired lady with instate tags.I had my car at 78(safe,maybe not a ticket speed) and my garman reading 80 and as soon as the murcery passed the officer (setting the middle of the mediam) he started to pull out at the same time we were passing were he was setting.he pulle up along side me ten droped behind me tailgating me so I signal to move over a lane and he flipped on his lights.He asked me if I know why he stopped me I said no,he said because I was doing 88 I side there is no way I was going that fast but the brown car in front of me might of been going that fast,He said they braked there car (no brake lights seen)and he used a laser on me that was calibrated daily and cant be wrong.I’m driving a 2008 4 cylinder yaris loaded with luggage going up hill and 2 people.I old him there is no way I was going 88.He told me the court date and dispute the ticket in court.This ticket up set me enough to call the chief of police and leave him a message to call me.I didn’t hear from him so I called the police dept the next day and asked to speak to who ever is in charge of the day shift they transferred me to the circuit clerk who was nice an explained that all tickets over 85 is a super speeder ticket with an extra $200.00 that funds the state tramu centers.She said they can mail me a form (to admit to driving 84) and drop the speeding to 84 to save from paying to super speeding ticket,BUT I said I wasn’t going anywhere near that speed either and would not complain and be happy to pay if they wanted to ticket me for 80 the speed I was going.I asked the clerk to please still pass my number on to the person in charge.The next day I get a call from guy who went over the fact that the lazer is checked daily and I cant be wrong.I told him BUT I wasn’t going that fast.He said I believe you really think you were not ,but maybe I had my cruise up higher then I thought(I told him I don’t have cruise)
