On another listserv I follow, this discussion came up and one fellow
said that this ticket could be contested because the officer issuing the
ticket did not have first hand knowledge of the infraction, the argument
being the ticket was "hearsay".  Anyone have first hand experience with
this or a lawyer that could substantiate such a claim?
