So today i was driving through a little village, and this cop is parked on my right facing the other direction and he radar guns me and pulls me over. He says i was going 47 in a 30. I was going 47, but in the 40 zone a little ways before, he was waiting maybe 10 yards after where it switches to 30. My ticket is 144, which i can deal with and 3 points on my liscence, which gets it taken away where i live. What should i do, contest it? i really dont think i was going 47 in the 30. If i pleaded with the judge, do they ever knock points off of the violation?
thanks

yeah, he calls you up and usually asks you what your plea is then gives you a chance to argue. Not sure how it works in NY, but you might have an opportunity to talk with and arrange a deal with the DA.
