so yesterday i had just finished washing and detailing my car when my friend came over with his Subaru. we both thought it would be a good idea to go out and take some pictures, since our cars looked relatively good .

So we both got into our cars and after a short bit of driving around aimlessly looking for a nice scene to shoot on we came to a stop sign. my buddy made a right onto the street and i followed we continued down the road for about a mile or two when i noticed flashing lights in my rearview . Needless to say i about shat myself all i could here in my head was my mom scolding me for my heavy foot, i thought i was going to have my first speeding ticket. but when the cop came up to my window he told me i rolled through the stop about a mile or two back.

I could not believe it 109.50 is what i have to pay for these stupid pictures now

Not too sure about Louisiana, but in Illinois, you have a legal right to see the radar gun to see what they actually clocked you at. But a lot of cops won't like you for asking and they'll find other stuff to write you up for since you're calling them a liar to their face. Best thing you can do is either pay the ticket without argument, which isn't a bad idea in this case since the cop decided to not write you up for reckless driving, or take him to court over it. Most cops won't show up if you take them to court over a speeding ticket, and by default, you win if they don't show up. But that's risky. I'd advise you to just pay it.
