RobC, different rules here in the States mate. If you present a viable case with specific evidence the judges here will usually go your way unless the officer has irrefutable evidence to your point pictures radar etc. At least thats my experience along with a couple of friends who have used my advice.
I always pay my tickets when I'm in the wrong but when I know I'm right I have fought every time and won, by the way this was in SoCal (Los Angeles) not the best cops or courts in the land but not the worst either. The judges see so many folks who come in hoping the cop won't turn up and either leave if their officer is present or offer a stupid argument for innocence with no evidence. When you walk in loaded for bear they suddenly have a lot of respect for you especially when the officer is used to verify your arguments because you did your homework.
This is the land of very few speed cameras.
