Proven guilty despite no evidence

I was pulled up for speeding on the A55 near Bangor (allegedly doing 90 in a 70) on my motorcycle, even though I know I was only doing 70.

The policeman was hiding half way up the slipway on the accelerating side so was completely hidden.

I denied the offence and went to court. The policeman had no photographic or video evidence. Result? Guilty.

The magistrates had decided I was guilty before I had even walked into the court as it must be impossible for a policeman to make a mistake or lie.

PS. I have since found out that the same copper was banned from driving in 1999 for doing over 110mph in a 60 limit on his own motorcycle. Hypocrite.

PPS. The instrument he said he clocked me with was a Pro Lazer 3
