Maybe not in Can-a-da but here that works like a charm.
See, we have this little thing called "reasonable doubt" and if you challenge the validity of something the burden of proof falls on the prosecution. In the details presented by the other poster, the court would never go to extended lengths to prosecute a speeding ticket (unless you are driving 219 then...). Most strongly contested speeding tickets are thrown out because in the time it would take them to mount an effective case they could process 100 more idiots that are pleading guilty.
If you are convicted on your speeding ticket you also have the right to a jury trial. Ask for one! The case will either be dismissed or simply never go to trial.
At least that is how it works in Am-er-i-ca.
