Yes this is true. It's true that my defense wasn't tested in court. It's also true that everyone can request discovery. BUT most people don't, which I think is a shame.

That's okay, I'm sure they'll get you next time.
Well they 'got' me this time in that they ticketed me. The officer just didn't bother to follow CHP procedure when measuring my speed; or show up to court. Honestly, if the CHP re-train and the state resolve to start proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt rather than simply asserting it, then I'll be happy.
Again, absolutely true. That's another reason why I wrote my book - to make it easier (less time consuming) for people to fight. In particular, I included all the references I used, which will save people a LOT of time.
MOST people know they've been caught and they follow the path of least resistance. While everyone has the right to challenge their ticket, not everyone has the option to take time off of work and do the research it might take to roll the dice hoping to come up 7.
That, and risking the insurance premium increase if they are not permitted to take traffic school after they lose.
