Help Needed To Fight Ticket in Georgia!




I just got a ticket in the Atlanta area (specifically, on GA 400 southbound),
and I was hoping someone might have some suggestions on how to fight it.

Details:  Traffic was very heavy; motorcycle cop pulled over on right
side of road with laser pointed right at me.  He radios to a patrol car
about 50 yards further down the road, who pulls behind me and turns
on his lights.  I pull over immediately.  79 in a 55 zone.

I asked the officer to see the laser gun reading and he tells me that
I can't, because it is in the hands of the motorcycle cop about 150 yards
back.  Is this enough grounds to have the ticket dropped?  I also
asked him the accuracy of his laser gun and he told me that it is 100%
accurate (no error) which seems wrong to me.

Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.  Please feel free to respond to the
article in rec.autos.driving, but I'd appreciate a copy forwarded to
dknight@iterated.com (the account I'm posting this from is a joint
account).  Thanks!
