I think you may have missed my point with respect to stopping.

The question is not how long you stopped, but whether you stopped at all and if you did stop, whether you did so in the appropriate place.

Most people hit the brakes, feel their car lurch forward and believe they stopped, when in fact they did not do so and only came to a slow roll, thus they get a ticket. In order to have come to a complete stop you must feel the car lurch backwards as well. Most people don't realize that and mistakenly insist they stopped when they did not.

The other issue is some people actually come to a stop but do so in the wrong place and get cited.

So, the whole point here is your argument about length of the stop has no relevance in either situation.

As far as quotas are concerned, California law has prohibited them for many years now so you won't make an impression on the court with that argument.
