US Highway 70 shortly before Elida

Driving up to the town the speed limit is 65 and quickly drops down to 35 then speeds up again to 45mph. The drop is so quick that you have to slam on your breaks the moment you see it. Very dangerous decrease in speed. I’ve never been pulled over and I was doing the speed limit in the 35 and then accelerated to 45 when the new sign came up. The cop stopped me and told me I was doing 56 in a 35 mph zone. It was a complete lie. My GPS and my speedometer both said I was doing 45 in the 45 zone. I got a $129 ticket but a whole bunch of NM cars were flying by me. My fiance also felt me brake and accelerate at the appropriate time. Of course I can’t fight it because I’m a Michigan resident. In short, he said I was doing 21 mph over the speed limit. I’ve never had a ticket, never been pulled over, never speed.
