My wife and her made the 3 hour drive an appeared in court. The judge reduced it to "defective equipment" - speedometer. Interestingly, it looked like everyone there was ticketed for 81MPH. I think the judge knew it was a bogus speed trap deal and reduced everyone who had a good record. That was down in Emporia, VA. I got a ticket for no front tag going down 81 close to the border. I think they look for people less likely to appear in court and just pay the fine.

That explains it all right there.
