text: a friend got a speeding ticket in paramus ten miles over the limit and was fined $339 does that sound fishy? isn't that way to much? was he scammed? he had no lawyer so there were no other charges paramus is a shady town....  10mph over could be a big deal if the speed limit is high(55-65) or if it was a school zone or a construction zone.  fines are usually doubled in this area.  also, paramus cops tend to lay it on asians for some reason.  so if you friend is asian, that could be a factor.
