The cop wrote F instead of M on my ticket in NY... think I can get off on a technicality?

Don't know about M/F, but I know the exact spot the cop was sitting..
based on your ticket, I bet you were on that straight-away about 3/4 of a mile before Ludingtonville Road and the trooper was under the bridge in the middle. Or possibly at the turn around, but I'm betting he was under the bridge.
I drive that every day. The only good thing about that bridge is you have a good look at the cars passing the cop from about 1/2 mile behind, so you can see the brake lights.
That's a nasty spot there. A lot of times you can fly up Stormville Mountain (just after the Taconic) and then you can keep up a good clip (80+) at the top of the hill until that spot.
Sorry to hear about the ticket.

I called up my lawyer...
He told me it's a technicality... I can use it in my defense, but the judge can also not buy it and I'd be fvcked... so if I get a 'great' plea.. take it, and if not use it.
Which is exactly what I thought.

Weird.. it's on my drive back from school..
And I've definitely uhhh... gone uhh... you know, a little over 75.. NEVER seen a cop there before.
He sent out a laser, pulled over to the side, got out of his car, and had everyone in the slow lane pull to the side.

rule number 1 always always fight a ticket. it cant be worse than what they nailed you for, but they
can bump it down to a lower point or no point infraction and reduce the number of points. i have never plead guilty to a ticket and **knocks on wood** have zero points on my license...always fight the ticket. i do also have the whole Im a nurse/paramedic thing in my corner, but fight the ticket anyway, they may bump it down to something lower.
