That is not germane. You get pulled over for doing 46 in a 35. You mouth off to the cop, who then tickets you for 60 in a 35, thus triggering the super speeder fine. When you complain to the judge, who tells you that merely by complaining about the cop, you prove that you deserve the extra fine. I would say that even if you were doing 46 in a 35, you don't deserve the extra penalty. Certainly complaining about the extra penalty doesn't prove you deserve it, whether or not you were guilty of the original charge.
