What is the name of your state? California
Is it legal for a CHP officer to issue a speeding ticket without pacing/radar and just going off of what a helicopter said? The officer said the helicopter paced me and converted to ground speed for going 83mph. I saw him approaching from about 1 mile away and coming up on me very fast (100+). I was going 70 and slowed to 65, but he pulled me over anyway without pacing me. I am fighting it in court, but not sure if I have any ground to stand on if the cop shows up. Thank you for your response.
