Officers where parking in this location on motorcycles radaring me ( https://gyazo.com/ad4a1ae9d7790060814f70e31fcecf09 ) on the right where there is no red. I am curious if its illegal to park there. Aswell as I was going the speed limit (50MPH) and I ride a motorcycle. When I got radared I was lane splitting. upon lane splitting the cars to my right and left were going around 70-80 but they began to slow down because there was a red light at this point ( https://gyazo.com/1dd3ae43c44081a2f1352462ad7e04c6 ) or they saw the cops. I decided to keep going the speed limit because I was aware the signal was going to change very soon before I got there (I take that road every day for work) and so they say they radared me at 76 when I was going a mere 50. So if you guys could give me any information on steps I can do to fight this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you.

P.s I have already have the form to do a trial by written declaration as well as I know I can do a request for discovery but don't know how to go about doing it.

Where the officer was parked is moot. Even if he had been illegally parked, it would not impact your speeding case.

There are a number of arguments you can try to make in defense of the violation, but, first, what code section were you cited for?

upon lane splitting the cars to my right and left were going around 70-80 but they began to slow down because there was a red light at this point ... I was going a mere 50.

Are you trying to say that you were lane splitting while all the cars around you were going 20+ mph faster than you were?

The other thing to understand is that the radar trained officer will make a visual estimate of your speed and then confirm it with the radar. It is exceedingly unlikely that you were getting passed by al those cars doing 20+ MPH more than you and yet he still singled YOU out.
