Or, a third-degree felony. Felony speeding is punishable by up to five years in a state prison, a driver\u2019s license revocation for 10 years and a fine not to exceed $5,000.<\/p>\n<p>There are also likely to be consequences in employment, educational and housing opportunities along with a person\u2019s eligibility to own or possess a firearm and vote.<\/p>\n<p>Always remember that the prosecution has the burden of proving you guilty of a criminal offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Don\u2019t give the state any additional evidence to try and convict you with. If a police officer asks you if you know how fast you were going, politely reply that you don\u2019t know. However, you must produce your driver&#8217;s license, registration, and proof of insurance. Yet, the law does not require you to answer any questions without an attorney being present on your behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Invoke your right to an attorney as soon as possible by asking to speak with us. Law enforcement will take you into custody and place you under arrest for going 50 mph or more above the speed limit. Not to mention, posting a cash bond is often required for release. Rather than answering any questions, ask to be able to contact our offices at your earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Tampa\u2019s Traffic Ticket Lawyer, RHINO Lawyers<\/h2>\n<p>If you received this type of ticket, contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.rhinolawyers.com\/es\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>RHINO Lawyers<\/strong><\/a>.
