My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
Today I was pulled over for texting and driving and cited with 23123.5a firstly I was anywhere near a cell phone and I do not own one. I told the officer I was searching for a tissue in my purse and his response was that he saw me texting. What are my chances on getting this silly thing dismissed and what do I need to take with me to court? I have my docort's note stating that I was seen last Friday for a upper respiratory infecting excusing me from work and I have no cell phone anywhere in history in my name.

So the officer pulls you over, claims to have seen you texting while driving within -presumably the few minutes prior to the stop- and yet you knew that at the particular moment he saw you, "you were searching for tissue in your purse because last Friday you saw the doctor for an upper respiratory infecting excusing you from work"....???
In other words, he says: "I saw you texting and driving"... Your response "no, no... when you saw me, I was driving and looking in my purse for tissue" (if you were driving AND looking in your purse, you still had the time to look around and see what the officer was looking at the entire time you were "looking in your purse"...
I'd guess its a real citation where the fine is at approximately $159... A good chunk of money... Its not a silly thing. As for your chances, with ^THAT^ story? ZILCH!Quote:

If you even change the radio station, adjust the volume, you can get cited. Profitable.
