The following is what occured to me last September 09:
While exiting onto RT 24 from RT 301 South ( I assume its in Starkey) Alachua Cty) we were stopped by a local heavy (FAT really cop in farmers outfit suspenders and all).
We were stopped doing as he claims 45 in a 15MPH zone. We were not permitted to view the radar. In addition the school was boarded up and closed.
So we bit the bullet and left with the ticket. It demanded I go to court in Jan 2010 and pay a fine in excess of $450.00
Feeling ripped off I found an atty called Steinberg w
proceeded to ask for a fee of 150.00 to rep me and claimed to know everything about this town and that I wouldn't need to be present. In addition he was assuring me that the ridiculous fine would be lowered considerably.
Well to my suprise or should I say my stupidity. I find today that my fine may exceed 1000.00.
Oh the atty! Well he claims I am lucky that I didn't go to jail, school or have points added to my Florida DL. What a rip off. So beware. Looks like my Florida DL is gonna get burned. No way am I paying this 1000.00+ to anyone.
Has anyone else experienced this

google shows several speed trap registries, news stories, stats-by-state and city-by-city lists
There are organizations devoted to motorists' rights and of course
banner ads for legal reresentation.
One firm is similar to Steinburg but is Fineburg.
BEWARE ALSO that they have a trap that catches those who fail tomchange lanes for a police car on the roadside. $96!!!
We prefer 301 but will be very careful.
