Hey guys, i have a bit of a story (this is in victoria)....this all happened about 30 mins ago.
i was just cruising along in a 60 zone at the speed limit. i got pulled over by an angry cop, who allegedly booked me doing 25k's over the speed limit. i argued and denied it....I asked to see the radar, and he told me he didnt use the radar. he said he was just following me and read my speed off his speedo. he then had a quick look at my liscence, breath tested me and told me i would get a fine in the mail, for doing 20-25k's over. i told him i would see him in court, and he just snapped back and walked off. He never took my liscence to his car, had no radar reading of my speed, and didnt issue me a fine on the spot, and had no one else in his car. Any advice would be great (for or against me) I have heard that cops need to have your speed registered on a radar, or you cant get a fine. Are they allowed to issue fines without having any evidence, and literally telling me that it i just "his word against mine", and that i just have to accept it??? Also, do cops send out fines in the mail? cos i hav always been issued fines on the spot....
