My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California, Fwy 118.
Hey all, Id like to thank you all in advance. So heres the story:
I was pulled over about a month ago, for allegedly doing 80+ in a 65mph zone. I was driving my uncles car and had my 2 nieces with me and I can assure you I have more sense of responsibility than driving recklessly. Anyways, when I was pulled over the officer stated that he didnt radar me, he paced me. The "approx speed" he marked down on the ticket was "80+". I took his word for it and now I'm looking at the ticket again and he actually checked the radar box, filled in the Beat and Area boxes....Now my questions are:
1) Does the discrepancy between what I was told and what the ticket says even matter in court?
2) In court if he says that he did use a radar on me, would saying...
"if my speed was indeed gauged by the radar, why was there not a precise speed written down on the ticket and why couldn't the accusing officer give me a verbal exact alleged speed?"
get me anywhere?
3) How would you play this case?
Thanks again
