I was caught doing 75 in a 55 by an airplane in Florida. I've already read that both the pilot and the sergeant involved in the ticket need to show up (i'm requesting the court date tomorrow), but I have a quick question regarding the statute used. The officer did get my race wrong but that is immaterial in my opinion so I'm out of luck there.
The officer wrote the statute 316.187.2c on my ticket, and when i looked it up, 316.187 has two laws. 316.187.1 is Unlawful/Speeding. 316.187.2 is Unlawful/Speeding/Interstate. However, I was caught speeding on 878, which is not an interstate highway, its a 2 mile branch of 874 (not an interstate) that ends at US-1. Did the officer write the wrong statute number, and if so, can I get out of the ticket using this fact?
Also he didnt check any boxes for reckless driving so if im convicted, will that vastly increase my insurance rates anyway? One last question, is there a reason why he checked the box on the ticket saying an appearance at court was required? I wasnt aware that you had to go to court for any ticket.
