That stinks, I got pulled over to the other day for
not having a front licence plate.  I told him my front
end was work in progress and he let me go:)  While I
was sitting on the side of US 36 I had two 4k's, a
type 89 and a 200 20v pass me, pretty embarassing.
If they give you any crap about the ticket, demand
that they bring an expert on the radar gun in.  Since
it is so new I doubt they will be able to find any one
and will probably drop it.
