This guy’s got his act together.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever traveled US 58 in the South Hill\/La Crosse area, you probably know of the speed trap reputation. Well, back on January 15th, Scott Colley got got a speeding ticket for 64 in a 50. He says that he knows that he wasn’t doing 64 MPH as his cruise control was set for 50 MPH. When the officer said he “paced” him going 64 MPH, Colley smelled a rat. He got out his Flip camcorder and started recording what went on. <\/p>\n

Colley asked if the officer would re-clock his vehicle on cruise control after he hit “resume” and the officer agreed to. Surprise! Colley’s car was clocked by LIDAR at going the speed limit and not 64 MPH.<\/p>\n

Scott Colley decided to fight back. He got a retired NASA scientist to write an essay proving that the police officer couldn’t possibly have gotten up to pacing speed in the distance covered. Colley posted that essay and his video at a new website… http:\/\/highway58speedtrap.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n
