From someone who has been there - you are screwed.
Despite what you think about lawyers you cannot expect to go up against the DA or ADA and win.
I speak from experience when I went to court for the same thing. I had 2 witnesses stating the police officer did not tag me doing the speed he said I was at and I had a Ford mechanic come in as expert testimony to testify that given the circumstances my vehicle could not have been going the speed I was radared at.
It was all thrown out due to legal verbage and etc etc.
At least have the public defender there and pray the cop doesnt show up. Otherwise expect to pay. Sorry man. Even the excellent advice given by the others (scapegoat especially) it will not matter. It will all be discounted by this law or that amendment.
I almost got a contempt of court violation because I was SEETHING at how ridiculous it was. Especially since I showed up on time and they made me wait two hours to get the cop to come in because the person who scheduled my trial did not notify them properly. I said- well this was real Fair and SPEEDY. Thats when I got warned for contempt of court. Its all BS dude. Good luck. You'll need it.
