Hi Everyone, I have couple questions regarding to speed trap laws. I hope some of you experts can help me.
I have been reading CVC 40800 - 40808 because I recently received a speeding ticket.
Due to the lack of experience in the law field, I don't quiet sure my point here is valid:
If a ticket is received due to Speed Trap on California highway/freeway(not local) with speed limit lower than 65 then the ticket should be dismissed? (measured by radar)
Now, the tough part is the paragraphs that describe the speed trap. I was on a California highway (speed limit 55). However, from the traffic survey it stated the 80% percentile is 67. Does this mean where I got a ticket was indeed a speed trap?
If what I learned is indeed true then does this mean even if i was driving above the speed limit(70), since the speed limit is not justified(speed trap) the ticket can be fought and won easily?
Any advice is appreciated!
BTW, if i were to fight the ticket, should I do a mail in or show up in court?![]()
