My court date is Sept 11th. I've sent an e-mail to the courthouse asking how to get records of the radar maintenance and the police officer's training records for radar. I've heard that I should file for as many continuances as I can, but does anyone have MD specific advice?
Got a Ticket, now what?

yeah i would just do community service... i got a $175 ticket community service saved me a lotta money... chances are if you go to court and the officer shows your SOL and you will have to pay.

Let me email this link to the courthouse and request that they forward it to the judges. That way maybe all the judges will be be aware of the tricks law breakers try to do to get out of a ticket......... Like they don't already know

I just got caught in the speed trap near AP Hill/Bowling Green and was going 72 in a 55 (yes, I know, I'm a bad girl, lol). My ticket was $145. My first ticket ever, but I should have known better. That area is always ticketing. My 3 year old said she had to pee so I booked it to get to I-95 to use a restroom
. She still managed to make it, even after a long stop with the cop.DoxieLuver

Pay the ticket. VA doesn't share records with Maryland. Therefore it won't show up is they do an MVA check for insurance purposes. I know from experience.

Last time I got a ticket in VA, told the judge I had a clean record and they said if I went to the 8 hour driving school in LaPlata and sent them the form saying I passed the class, they would drop the ticket.jenbengen said:I just got caught in the speed trap near AP Hill/Bowling Green and was going 72 in a 55 (yes, I know, I'm a bad girl, lol).

They did NOT have access to my MD driving record.
Unlike the VA folks that told him the same thing

No speed trap
There is no speed trap there; the speed limit is 55 from Port Royal all the way to I-95. What there is in Bowling Green is a State Police barracks.
