My worst was also my best. I got pulled over for 62 in a 30 in Massachusetts and it was a $270 fine. I was barely into my first yeat out of college and it was ALOT of money then. I was guilty as sin, but bought that book; "How to beat the radar rap". I used every trick in the book and the officer did not show. To this day, I do not know if it was the book, or the cop just couldn't make it.
The judge, after waiting forever for the cop said, "Charges are dismissed, you are not guilty,..and this has been an expensive day for the court."
I did get tagged for 95 in a 55 many years ago, but again knowing I was guilty as sin, I paid it and was happy the cop didn't throw the book at me.
I am now reformed
