State: California
I want to help a friend defeat a speeding ticket (CVC 22350 Basic Speed Law) for 57 in a 40 double lane (both ways) road. The officer used a laser gun and was satationary on his motorcycle. Clear/Dry/Light traffic at night.
In the past for my own speeding ticket I lost by trying to prove that although I was going over the speed limit, I was not endangering anyone on the road or nearby property and therefore was not traveling at an unsafe speed given the road conditions. I did this for both a written declaration and then a trial de novo and lost both.
So I need help in refining my defense. What are some good methods? Are there any links/info attacking the laser gun used?
Is it common for the officer to automatically bring the site/traffic survey to court if I don't mention it in the Written Declaration?
