[Nobbc] California ticketing

There seem to be plenty of offers of help on Google:

Unfortunately you will have to pay for this advice.
Most of you have probably noticed the diagonal lines on the shoulder of the 
road within an "air trap".  So you probably also know they use a time and 
distance method for determining your speed.  But if the plane is going 
faster or slower than you, his line of sight to the lines will change.  This 
combined with two random clicks of his stop watch could also cause some 
error.  And who knows how if the distance between lines is accurate.
Of course, if this method has become computerized, then these errors are 
taken out of the formula.  Or it could be that they use a radar gun to 
determine speed differential.  I think that would be a really tuff one to 
beat.
On the other hand, you were probably speeding, correct?  If you want to 
dance, you have to pay the piper, I always say.  I hate getting 
tickets...they suck, but I can only think of two times in my 50 year driving 
career when I got a ticket, I didn't deserve.  I went to court to fight that 
ticket, insulted the judge, and ended up in Santa Rita for a night for 
contempt of court.  I was only 25 at the time and it was during a time when 
"questioning authority" was in vogue.  He was a jerk of a judge, finding 
everybody in his court room guilty of their violation.  The other was in SF. 
I was driving a borrowed 54 Rambler.  This pile of crap couldn't go over 50 
mph, but I was sited for 70.  I went to court and explained this to the 
judge and he let be off.  Of course it helped that the officer didn't show 
up.
Good luck
