i didnt misunderstand i was responding to what the other guys wrote. anyway 195ft is good for your argument. that means it took you 2.46sec to go across that 195ft distance to get 54mph (what he said). if you were to round that up to an even 3sec, meaning he had a quarter of a second delay (very reasonable) per click of the stopwatch, that would mean your real speed was 44mph. the time for 35mph (the speed limit) over that distance would have to be 3.8sec meaning he was off by more than a second overall (an unreasonable argument). him being off by half a second is about as much as you could arguably push it, making you at 44mph, which is still 10 less than he said. perhaps logical argument will appeal to the judge. even arguing that if he clicked 0.5sec slow you were going 10mph less might get him/her to waive it. good luck.
