The police released a statement disagreeing with the ruling in the case of Robin Ficker, a Montgomery County lawyer and activist, who said he was erroneously given a $40 speeding ticket in September after a speed camera filmed him at the bottom of a hill on the 4300 block of Jones Bridge Road in Bethesda.
