I just got a speeding ticket for going 74 in a 45 on my motorcycle. The cop was traveling in the same direction, and I approached him from behind. I identified him, slowed down, and followed until I got to my turnoff at my job. He was in the left lane when I turned right into my employer's driveway. I don't have usable mirrors, so I assumed he stopped when he realized I was turning right and followed me into the gate. Do I have a fighting chance?

My friends and I were pulled over at 2:30am, and the officer made us get out, searched the car and us, and found nothing. We all received curfew tickets and were made to blow for alcohol, which I believe was illegal without probable cause since we were under 18. When we asked why we were pulled over, the officer gave an excuse to leave quickly. If I plead not guilty and try to fight the curfew ticket, what are the chances of getting it dismissed, and is this enough to file harassment charges?
