Well last night on the monash about 2km from burke road exit highway patrol clocked me doing 127.... now fair enough i admit that i was doing 127 and i openly admited that to the officer when he asked how fast i was going i said around 130km before i saw the radar and at no point did i try to get my self out of the fine.... but then this cop turns around and says yeah i clocked you doing 127 but when i was behind you tailing you for 1km with my lights on you where doing 150 *note who does not notice a police car behind them with the lights on for more then 1km at the supposed 150km speed*????... at this point i stated that i belive i was doing 130km and i was not doing 150km as he was suggesting... but he came back with a reply saying the laws of physics state that if i leave a safe enough distance between you and me i can tell what speed you where doing and you where doing 150km... i continued to plead that i was not doing 150km but he would not listen.... so eventually after 10min he came back to my car saying under the new hoon laws he will be inpounding my car for 48hours and i will be summond to court for dangerous driving for exceeding the speed limit over 45km.... now firstly i have to pay a $390 fine to get my car out of inpound thats number one.... number 2 if found guilty i have a cancelation of licence for minumum 12months... now even after stating that he had no physical evidence of me doing 150km and i stated this to the other officer that rocked up as well... they still wouldnt listen and inpounded my car leaving me stranded in a place i didnt even know telling me basically find your own way home and not even allowing me to use there mobile to contact a family member as i had no money what so ever on me.... now all im asking is im not pleading guilty to this charge as i didnt do the speed he is saying ill take the 127km i dont care thats what i was doing but 150km is just bull **** and i think they just wanted to catch some one for the new law.... now do i have any chance in court with the circumstances i have will his word of saying i follwed him doing 150km hold up cause thats just saying any cop can say the offender was doing any speed and get away with it i just think its bull ****.
