The big question is then, will the cop admit to doing 140 in a 70 zone with NO lights and NO sirens on, and NOT being a priority 1 driver?

a cop can be in a pursuit without having lights and sirens on, it's not a requiremnent for them to do so unless they are going to encounter other vehicles. (AFAIK)
basically you admitted that you were speeding so all you will be doing is arguing the severity of the punishment. on second thoughts to my first post, I think that you will be screwed if you try and get off in court.Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

Oh, and i only admitted to doing 85 in the 70.
The funny thing was, i said i didnt know what speed i was doing, i was watching the speedo... He then said, Oh, you wernt watching the speedo, so your admitting to reckless? Umm no? I was watching the ROAD, and where i was GOING and not the speedo....
That makes me think he knew he had nothing he could pin me with and therefore was trying to get me to admit to it

I'm with GTSBoy. This is exactly what the cops say in court.
"You looked like you were speeding" is enough to get you done because the cop is "trained to observe and estimate speeding".
Whereas you are just some chump on the street, your word holds very little weight with the court.
I have no idea if you can get off, but if you are going to fight this, then get propper legal representation.
If you represent yourself, you will lose.
The cops will be 100% prepared in court.
If you go into court less than 100% prepared, you will lose.
