My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I've got a very strong appeal case, but no idea how to proceed. The short version of the story is this: halfway through my questioning of the officer in a School Zone case (40 in a 25), the Commissioner (acting as judge) called a recess to consider my motion to dismiss based on the ticket being improperly cited as a VC22350 as opposed to VC22352. The Commissioner told me that she would render a decision on the motion within two weeks and that I would be contacted. I heard nothing for two months, then yesterday got a notice in the mail that I had been found guilty of VC22350 and fined $177.
This seems grossly unfair as I never had a chance to question the officer on his use of radar, or challenge the admission of the radar evidence. The officer also failed to produce a speed survey (required for vc22350 but not for vc22352).
My question is how do I proceed in challenging this verdict? I'd at the least like the opportunity to mount my defense, which was never granted. Thanks in advance. I'm happy to provide any further details.
-Sam
