It's interesting about Montana. During the 55mph debacle foisted on the states in the 70's and 80's, Montana had a flat $5 fine for speeding, payable on the spot, for "wasting energy".

When "Reasonable and Prudent" came about (returned actually)
the fines increased considerably. They (and us) were better off under the old system. I have no idea what the speed limit is now, and I bet it's enforced with heavy fines.

It is a "high profile" case now - seems to me that an example needs to be set here, for other motorists, particularly the organ donor set with high powered crotch rockets. Getting out of the ticket altogether sends the wrong message in my opinion. People need to understand the law applies to them in both spirit and letter, not a game to be played and weaseled out of.

Oh, an example will be set alright; just not the "correct" one. I've got an additional $10 donation that says the case will be dismissed. It's pretty difficult to refute the laws of physics, even if you are the procecution . . .

It was called "unnecessary waste of a natural resource" as I recall. Got a few of those. Funny thing was they charged $5 for the ticket but it took $12 to process it.

The "organ donor" bunch will not be dissuaded by any legal example. The court would better protect both the letter and spirit of the law by dismissing any charges based on any police officer's observations which are demonstrably false.

Usually, more than one citation is issued in such a case. If they can't nail the kid on the speeding charge, they'll get him on "unsafe operation", or other similar charge.

The limit is now 75.
