You got a ticket because you broke a traffic law. No different then a trespasser or poacher getting caught and getting a ticket or a burglar getting caught and getting fined X amount of dollars. I understand the part about being in wide open country and I probably would have handled it different depending on how the interaction between you and I was. We are a very rural area also and in open none residential areas, no citations are even thought about being issued until 70mph. I hate you got a ticket. Set it at 68 next time and I’d bet you’d be fine.
