Yep, 56mph is just as guilty as 99mph, with the fine amount being the only difference. VC22349a/b cases are extremely hard to beat on merits, but it doesn't change the fact that a sizable number still get chucked out when the officer doesn't show up for court or submit the TBD (and, unlike court, the officers don't get paid extra to fill out TBDs).22349 is binary. It really doesn't matter what the officer wrote on the citation for the approximate vehicle speed. If there is any evidence the speed was over 55, the conviction is upheld. Or said another way, the technicality that the officer inaccurately wrote speed of 70+ has no bearing on this case. Providing evidence that he measured/estimated an incorrect number is immaterial.
