Tickets for lunch

On lunch friday, I got two tickets. One for speeding and the other for the location of my license plate.

UPDATE: After going to court for these tickets this is what happened. I showed up early and saw all these other people approach the judge wearing baggy clothing and just looking like crap. They did not fair to well. I was somewhat presentable with my clothing and was hoping the officer would not show; he showed. I approached the bench (really a podium with a mic, in front of the judge). The judge asked me to explain the situation. I told her (using "your honor" freely) that I was on my motorcycle on a very slippery road in construction, which was a school zone. After leaving this school zone, only about 30ft further, I ended up in another. I told her that I was in the wrong either way. She was kind enough to let me off easy. I only had to stay clean for 3 months and this violation would be esponged. For the license plate location, I put it back to factory and took a picture to show the judge and officer. I remember when I was pulled over, this officer told me that I had the license plate on like I did because I like to run from cops. I about freaked out. But in court he was very professional and I really was lucky on the turn out.
