Considering how much I was over the speed limit, it's so
glaringly obvious that it was a "revenue stop" under the guise of
traffic ordinance enforcement.
The state's recent budget cutbacks have forced municipalities to
look for other creative ways to raise revenue, like increasing
business and property taxes, increasing license and permit fees,
levying fines, etc. 
In any event, I'm exercising the option to have this citation heard
in a court. The last ticket I received in 1999, I did likewise and
managed to get the fine halved with no points on my driving
record.
