Hubby's driving across the country this week to drop my son off at his cousin's for the summer. He just called me because he got stopped in Georgie for speeding. Hubby NEVER speeds. Never. He usually uses his speed control to set the speed limit and rides from there. A Georgia cop tagged him going 74 in a 55 zone. Impossible he says because 1) the cop was driving in the opposite direction, then turned around to pull him over and 2) He had his cruise control like normal. The cop was arrogant and said, "Well you can go to court to fight it." yeah right.. the ticket would be cheaper than a return trip and he knows it. He was pulled over because the cop saw a Penssylvania license plate.
Is there ANYTHING we can do to fight the ticket without showing up to court? It was pure speed trap scenario! Only hubby wasn't even close to speeding! We don't know how much the ticket is for because the cop gave my husband a card with a number to call. God, this could be hundreds of dollars. We drove my son down because we didn't have the money to fly him down. Flying might have been cheaper!
Now... this is *slightly* illegal, but could hubby just not pay the ticket? We've never been in Georgia before and likely never will again. They could theoretically issue a warrant for his arrest, but since we'll never cross into Georgia again, nothing can be done. Heck, we have an arrst warrant issued for hubby's ex-wife's arrest (for refusal to show up for several court dates regarding child support she refuses to pay) but she's not returning to Pennsylvania, and she's not worried about it, so should we worry about a speeding ticket?
