My question involves traffic court in the State of: California
Cited for 22349(a) for doing 75 in a 55 (no radar; only visual estimation)
Driving along a highway (speed limit 55) with two other motorcycles in front of me. Sheriff is driving behind me. All three of us pull into a gas station. I pull up to a pump and get off my bike to fill up gas. This is when I notice the cop has flipped on his lights and has followed the 2 other motorcyclists to a parking spot. At this point, I start gassing up, and a border patrol officer walks up to me and tells me to go talk to the officer after I finish filling up. I'm an upstanding citizen (obviously), so I don't just drive away. Pull into a spot next to the sheriff's patrol car, and he asks me for my license / registration. Talks to us for ~30 min. about how he's seen so many motorcyclists crash and die on this road due to trying to keep up with other motorcyclists, makes a comment about how he "thinks he saw us out here yesterday, tried to pull us over then, but couldn't catch us" and proceeds to write us all tickets.
I'm considering requesting a trial by written declaration due to this bizarre nature of events. Is there a limit from the time you're on your vehicle to when a cop pulls you over for driving at an excess speed?
Interested in thoughts and comments. Thanks in advance.
