What is the name of your state? California
Sorry it is kind of long.
Last night I was pulled over by a CHP. Was sited for 75 in a 65 when in fact I was only doing 57 max. I have to say up fornt I have no problem admitting to a speeding infration and will pay whatever fines go along with a traffic violation, as long as I am the one who made the infraction not when I did nothing at all.
I have a radar detector a Valentine 1. I was warned by the detector that there was radar being used and I was doing 50-55 at the time. I proceeded through an intersection where the speed limit is 50 and just after I saw the CHP go by. He continues for approx. 1/8 of a mile then I see his brake lights go on and it looked like he turned around. He could have had time to turn at the intersection if I was the one who caught his attention.
I have tinted windows and no front plate on the car and have been ticketed for both so I am concered whenever I go by law inforcement and always pay attention to my speed around them.
I was traveling with a group of cars one in front one behind. all three of us passed a semi I merged into the right lane (two lanes both directions with a center median) because I was going to turn right at the next intersection.
A black camaro (1993-1998 style) with black wheels went flying by me doing about 70-85 and accelerating and merging through traffic. I was watching my mirrors so I saw the car coming at a higher rate of speed than I was traveling. I actually moved to the right of my lane towards the shoulder to let the car pass safely and the car was merging in and out of traffic and took off.
Traffic from behind was closing on me as they were probably doing closer to the speed limit. I turn right then get pulled over.
Right after the CHP took my info back to his car another Camaro 1967-1969 went by also black. I have a black 2007 Corvette Z06. I never told the CHP I had my radar detector on and new he was there and so I was careful to not be speeding.
His first statement to me was "Runs Real Good" I said excuse me????? Runs real good and stated I was doing 75. I told him he pulled over the wrong car and that a camaro went flying by me, minutes later said there was another car involved. He also insisted I was pulling on him. Which he obviously caught up to me.
I really want to fight this ticket because he simply pulled over the wrong car and I had nothing to do with the situation and it is the principle that he was mistaken.
What are my odds here? I have no hard proof except I could go take pictures of the area and explain what happened and my situation was.
Pretty steamed right now
