Convicted of Violating Basic Speed Law
Hey guys, so I went to court in Stockton, Ca on May 8th for a speeding ticket I received a few months back from the CHP. As you could probably figure out, I lost. I got a ticket for 22350, the "Basic Speed Law".
Too sum up the trial in a few words: It was BullS**t. Judge was a complete jerk. CHP officer was no different.
Anyways the trial went on, the officer did his part. He didn't remember giving me the ticket at all. He said that he caught me on radar, but he didn't. He really just paced me, but when he was pacing me I was not speeding. They issued me the ticket for going 52 in a 35, but I really think it was for being an 18 year old driving a new mercedes. Anyways, all he did was read off his papers. Said he had "copies" of all his certifications. Judge didn't even ask to see them. His radar was last checked in 2009. I asked him the "30 questions", made him look like he didn't know his right from his left. Judge just thought I was wasting time. Found me guilty in a heart beat.
I have received a few tickets in my past, of which I knew I was honestly guilty for and I plead no contest. This however, I felt I was just profiled and I will not let this go without a fight. Hence my appeal, and I need a little help. After about a million attempts I got threw the STUPID automated phone system, and got a hold of somebody at the courthouse that actually knew what they were talking about. She referred me to the CR-141 info document regarding appeal procedures.
So far, I have filed my Cr-142 form, and I basically need help with everything else (i.e. the proposed statement).
So any and all help would be greatly and sincerely appreciated! Thank you guys!
