    Default Speeding Ticket in Private Community

    My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: California

    I recieved a ticket for going 45 mph in a 35 zone. The road was within a private community. The speed limit was set to 45 mph in 1998 after a traffic survey was performed. Last year the limit was lowered to 35 mph by the property owners association without a traffic survey being done.
    I filed a trial by declaration where I argued that since there was not a traffic study to support the lower speed limit it constituted a illegal speed trap and the radar should not be admissible. The found me guilty.
    My question is: Should I go to court with the same argument, try a different argument, or give up and forfit the bail. Thank you.

    (before anybody posts any complaints. I am not saying the cop did anything wrong, my issue is with the Property Owners Association lowering the speed limit 15 mph lower than the average median speed in the traffic survey)
