Two questions I suppose -

First - does it matter that it was LAPD and not CHP?

Does the ticket qualify as 24 miles per hour over the speed limit in terms of the bail amount? Or is there just a flat amount for a 22350 ticket?
Since this interpretation has its origins in southern California, I suspect it is now relatively common place in the courts there.

And, to be honest, I am not sure whether the court will presume that it's 24 over based on the officer's assumption of a safe speed or not. VC 22350 has scaled penalties with the lowest being 1-15 MPH, then 16-25, then 26+. It will likely be in the ballpark of $238 or $367 depending on which level the court sees it as. I would hope the court would go with the lower amount, but, I cannot venture to guess on their practice.
