Violation 21456 "b/c.v.c. - OBS viol cross st against a red don't walk signal"
Hello Everyone,
My friend and I both got tickets for crossing on a "flashing" red hand in the crosswalk. The light was green when we stepped off the sidewalk, but started flashing as we stepped into the crosswalk. We were received at the other side by an officer on a bicycle. I never knew that being in the crosswalk during a flashing hand was illegal, but apparently it is. (We noticed later that they were ticketing entire families for similar violations - strollers included!). This happened in downtown Los Angeles.
What would be a good way to write a "Trial by Declaration" for such a violation? And do we send out bail with the letter? Obviously, we are both going to plead "not guilty."
I've never had anything on my record and my driving record is also clean.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
