When I was a cell phone installer in Vermont, a few of the offices had all the documentation and even a tuning fork sitting in the car. Some boys are serious when it comes to this - and I can't blame them. I do agree though, that if you weren't doing the crime he stated - that you shouldn't have to 'do the time'. Best case would be to talk with the officer about switching it up for a non-moving violation (or two). Just explain your work situation, and admit to him (again) that you were speeding, but not by as much stated. Try the nice approach before appearing to 'evade' the ticket, as he won't be so kind if he thinks you're trying to show him up.
