The cop didn't have any proof other than his word that he was following me for a sufficient amount of time to say how fast I was going.
I would need pretty good evidence to refute that, but the judge will always say the cop's word holds all the weight as he has less vested interest in lying than I do... which is BS since the CHP is just another form of tax collection here.

I'm mean you use a traffic attorney and most likely it will be dismissed...
it's not just the $130... your insurrance will go up way more than that specially if you get more tickets
