Josh,

Based upon your handle, I'm going to guess that you're in Cowlitz County. If so, go see an attorney by the name of Randy Furman. There has to be probable cause to pull you over on a traffic violation. A $490 ticket is likely for "Negligent Driving 2nd Degree." If that's the case, the cop has to establish, among other things, negligence on your part--not just speed. Speed alone won't get him there.

If you want, call me. I'll donate 10 minutes of my time to see if I can get you pointed in the right direction on fighting this.
