What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? california
I recently was issued a ticket for 75 in a 65 on my motorcycle on HWY 1. The CHP plane radioed a patrol car and told him to issue me a ticket. The pilot directed the patrol car down my country road to my house where the patrolman pulled up and told me the pilot told him to get me. My question is twofold: is airplane speed verification accurate and legal in California and does it hold up in court even if the patrol car never even saw me riding my bike at all? The patrolman even apologized and said it was really the pilot giving me the ticket not him. I have to say, the CHP are definately the most polite cops on the road. Thanks, jim
