CA - speeding ticket... Help! (6/30 UPDATE)
What is the name of your state? CA (southern california)
well, its my first speeding ticket ever and i am seeking for all your help please... (southern california area)
i was driving home from local shop and just made a left turn to this street. after the turn, i accerlated a bit fast and was not aware the
cop was hiding in a parking lot. as soon as i passed the cop on my right, i knew it, he quickly put in drive and turned on his lights.
i pulled over and you know the rest... after couple minutes of waiting, he handed me a ticket with 22350 cvc unsafe speed
(40+ at 30 mph zone) and 26708 tinted windows... on the ticket, the officer wrote he clocked me on radar but i did not want to argue
with him, therefore i did not ask him to show me the radar in his car, (does this mean i lost the chance to see it again?)
(note: i do have the valentine1 radar detector operated full time but i dont know why it didnt pick up. the officer even asked me if the v1 picked up the signal then smiled... weird? also, why did the officer put down 40"+" instead of 4# like 45 or something?)
the court date is on the first week of july and i dont know what to do now. i think i was driving in the 40 mph zone not 30 mph.
again, whats the best way to get out of this without any point on my record. i know for sure i need to remove the tint on the
front windows but should i request a trial for the speeding?
(what to do? i might get the court date extended that way i dont have to remove the tint that soon. or i can just pay for the fine? hopefully i dont need to remove the tint then retint hassel. and lastly, i need to check the speed limit where he cited the ticket, hopefully its 40mph zone, then i will be dismissed for the ticket? anyone know? )
all comments and suggestions are welcome... please help me... thank you all!
6/30 update

this is actually in the 35 zone
he wrote me 40+ in 30 but actually 35 zone
also, the location on the ticket is wrong
