Default I Got Pulled Over By A Cop Today

I was driving down the road, when all of a sudden I come to a stop side and this cop points his finger telling me to pull over. Then another cop girl came over and told me they setup some speed trap thing and said I was doing 43 in a 25 zone. As I pull over, I see a couple of other cars pulling over as they come to the stop sign. I got a Citation and I have to pay $104. Luckily, I didn't get any points on my License or on my insurance.
If I plead not guilty, can I do anything at the court so I don't have to pay as much?

So you were speeding, and got a ticket. What's the question?

Well, I'll come up with some questions for ya. How do you know you aren't getting any points? In NJ, getting caught going 18 over is 4 points. I can't believe the cops lowered you to a 0 point ticket with you still paying $104. So how did the cops right up the ticket?

If you aren't getting any points, buck up and pay the money. I would be ecstatic over $104 fine and no points going 18 over the speed limit!

That sucks, I didn't know Chevy Citations could even go that fast.

Be careful, the Citation has a big brother - the Z06...

Why would you go to court? You have no case, you were caught speeding, pay the fine and deal with the consequences..
