Grand Caravans can go over the speed limit?! I've never seen that. What do you got under the hood? Twin turbos?

And if any vehicle SHOULDN'T be driving 80-90mph it's an SUV or minivan. Compared to a small well-suspensioned car like the S, I believe such vehicles are considerably more dangerous at that speed...
But yeah, looks like lawyer time. And bashing cops won't get you any support around here, remember that.

As I said before, I don't think I was going what the trooper said I was =x. But who can argue with those A$$holes?

I'm not a cop, but you have no clue who you are talking to on this board. For all you know, someone that's helping you out could be a cop....or maybe used to be one....
To put my $.02 on other stuff in this thread:
-Follow what boogers says. Get a lawyer.
-Get this changed to a speeding ticket or lowered or you're screwed by the civil penalties.
-Slow down (even though all of us could prob take heed to this)
-Don't run out to get a radar detector.
-Radar detectors are only illegal in VA and DC.
-VG-2 chip will not fully protect you. Those detectors can still be detected.
-Only fully non-detectable radar detector is Beltronics STi Driver (of course unless they see it
)
Get a lawyer.

Understandable that you are frustrated, so I will save you from the potential onslaught.
The cops were just doing their job, it was you who were speeding, how does this make them a&&holes? Dont answer this question. Follow the advice you have gotten here and good luck.

Please disregard what I said about cops... I know they were doing their job.. its just the matter that I know I wasn't going 90 and my friend sitting in the passenger noticed I was going 80 tops. Speeding is speeding but when it comes to a 10mph difference its big =/. I hope all goes well once I get a lawyer. Thanks for the advice everyone and I'll let you guys know how it goes.
