I agree that 20 MPH is too low and 25 would be much more appropriate. In Michigan a while back, the City of East Lansing had a 25 MPH limit on a major state road that runs right through the downtown ( divided, 4 lanes). The State Police took them to court and won getting the speed limit raised to 35 as the judge concluded the 25 MPH limit was simply there for a "revenue enhancement" speed trap.

And a Judge who publicly states that he will ALWAYS only believe the LEO, is not a judge but a closed minded person who does not seem to understand the role of a Judge is to listen to BOTH sides without bias.

finally someone gets it
