How to Beat a Ticket in California

[KA24DESOneThree]

Yes, that was a statement, not a question. I don't get tickets. (Tomorrow I'm going to get a ticket... I'm jinxed now.)

I was talking to my friend who was ticketed for 58 in a 35 and GOT AWAY with it. I don't advocate speeding by 23mph on a busy town street where lots of people jaywalk, but eh... whatever. Here's what he told me to do to get out of a ticket on that street. It'd apply pretty much everywhere, I'd suppose.
"First, I did trial by written declaration, and the officer had to send stuff in. Then, I appeared in court; the officer had to come in on his day off. I had 8 pages of questions ready, so I was prepared. In California, if you are to use radar on a road, one must first complete a road survey then take the 85th percentile of the speeds drivers drive on the road and set the speed limit at or above that percentile. The 85th percentile for Mission by Albertson's (don't worry about where that is, it's meaningless to the point) was 41mph so the lowest speed limit they can have is 45mph. It is marked as 35mph. Therefore, the speed limit on the road is illegal, and all tickets issued are illegal as well. I won in like 3 minutes and even objected once."

That just might help you out of a bind.
