I just had the same thing happen to me. I know for a fact that I was
going less than 76 mph but the cop said he clocked me at 86. This
is a major scam that should be addressed but won’t be. Last time I go anywhere near Georgia.

I am ready thru these postings and seeing ranges of fees all over the place going absurdly high. I don’t understand why such a drastic range. I would love to know where some of these speedtraps are that people are posting. If you read this, send the location so we can all benefit from the knowledge. I was stopped by trooper on 12/31/11 right at Cordele (Lake Blackshear area) about 30 miles north of Tifton. I noticed after I was stopped, there were three more waiting ahead of me. I believe the only reason I was pulled over was I had managed to leave the pack so was easy prey. He wasn’t able to tell me how fast but I was probably right at 80, maybe 85 but that’s unlikely. Of course, it’s posted 70 on I-75. He told me to call the number on the citation. He told me he wasn’t going to list me as going 85 so my fee wouldn’t be as high as it could be. When I called, they told me it would be $246. Now I’ve seen other amounts posted – but not $246. Why are all these amounts different? Shouldn’t they be the same amounts? Are they making these up as you call? Did the trooper really give me a break at $246? I completely understand keeping speeding down; but honestly, these highways need to be readjusted to higher speeds. So bottom line – love to hear where everyone is getting pulled over when on I-75

@ Fellow NYer Hello pal….How much was your fine…My ticket was $295 plus $200 for bs Superspeeder fee. I am not planning to pay $200 Superspeeder fee..Jerks won’t starve from hunger. Taking away our money in order to break us complete scum. Forget freedom our freedom were taking away long time ago….nowadays you need to rely on green money to have some kind of freedom….very sad indeed.

This is insane it must have been a really bad moving violation. I have never heard of this before. In New York this rarely happens. Did she get a ticket and loose points?

Can I get points on my license in the city of Alpharetta Georgia if only a camera light caught me passing a red-light?

Drunk & Driving is the one of the biggest cause of teen deaths, by taking consideration of those fact i would clearly suggest to improve the fines & sentences days depending upon the seriousness of crashes.

Comment on Speeding Crackdown in Coweta County Georgia by Adam Rosenblum

i believe there should be a warning ticket that goes on your license. So if someone is speeding after the warning. Thats when that person will get a ticket

His claim may sound pretty ridiculous, but that doesn’t mean there is no viable defense for the charges he faces. An attorney with experience in traffic stop laws might be able to help him challenge the discovery of that evidence.

Just got a ticket in GA myself for doing 80 in a 65. Going to fl from ny. Pigs were sitting behind the 65mph sign that was on the other side of a hill when it dropped from 70, 5 pigs, all 5 pulled someone over while I was stopped. If GA got bombed off the map I’d be happy
