Sorry to hear about your parents, but neither the police nor CA legislature care one bit about it. Even if they were on the verge of death and your cell phone died at the wrong moment, you must still obey the law. When CA passed VC 22349a/b and 22356b, their intent was simple. Anyone who drives as little as 0.1mph above the maximum speed must receive a ticket. There are no exemptions for medical emergencies or any other reason. It's nothing personal - the officer was only doing his job properly.
