My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: California
I received a ticket near Barstow on my way back from Vegas. At the time, the officer was pulled over and I slowed down immediately when I saw him. When he pulled me over, he did not tell me how fast I was going and I did not ask him what method he used to detect my speed. He ended up writing me down going at 101 in a 70 zone. There are a couple of things that I'm wondering. I live near San Francisco and Barstow is definitely over 400+ miles for me to travel. Would I be able to file a change of venue even though I did not request it initially? Would I request a change of venue before I go to plead not guilty or would I request it when I go to court? I definitely do not want to go all the way to Barstow for court when I live in San Francisco. Another thing is I believe that the officer did not radar me and guessed that I was going above 100 mph so he ticketed me at 101. How do I properly file a Discovery Request to see how he determined how fast I was going? I would take traffic school if I could but this is above 100mph making it a misdemeanor. I plan on fighting it because I do not want a point on my record and I am delaying it hoping that the officer will not show up. Is there any suggestions of tips for me or answers to my question?
