How do you avoid speeding tickets?

Not to sound blunt, but I would recommend not speeding to begin with. Don't speed? Slow down. Do it when the cops aren't around or you can also get a radar detector.


Can a police officer park on private property and use radar to check for speeding in New York?

no, unless of emergency


A police officer supposedly saw you speeding on the opposite side of the road and thirty minutes later you got pulled over by a different cop because of the first cop is this possible?

I know in my expierience with law enforcement it's called a speed trap, however, I have never heard of a situation where the person speeding was pulled over 30 minutes later. That is a big gap leaving room for error in vehicle tracking. But to answer your question one police officer running radar may have you locked in as speeding when you pass his location and pass it on over the radio to another officer down the road. I work on a military installation and we have had speed enforcement events where we would have one police officer shooting radar and a another police officer directing the vehicles speeding into a parking lot and another police officer cutting the tickets.

Luckily, there are ways that you can beat a speeding ticket while driving. The most effective way to beat a speeding ticket would be to use a radar detector.

When this occurs you should speed down to avoid being caught speeding and charged with a speeding ticket.
