What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
I was caught and ticketed by a motorcycle police officer, who used a rador, for speeding on a surface street in a small city in CA. He alleged that I was doing 40 mph in a 30 mph zone.
I called the city and obtained a result of traffice survey conducted by the city on 6/24, 2005, which was more than 5 years ago.
Questions:
1. Can I have the judge dismiss the ticket as the traffice survey was done more that 5 years ago, which, I think, is required by law to be done every 5years?
2. Isn't the city supposed to increase the speed limit if 85% of the sampled vehicles are doing more than posted speed limit?
3. City's traffice engineering manger said that traffic survey can be extended to 7 years with certain criteria.
What are the criteria if so?
Does this qualify the police to claim that the ticket is still valid?
4. By using Freedom Act can I ask the police department to provide me with the evidence of calibration of the radar, which is supposed to be done every 3 years?
5. Can I request the police department to provide me with the proof of 24 hours training and possession of FAA license, which are supposed to qualify the police officer to use the radar by the Freedom Act?
