CHP was headed north on 101. We pass each other and CHP flips a U turn and starts to follow me. As soon as we pass each other I start checking on him and when I see he's flipping a bitch I check my speed and slow down to 65. Now that he's following me(at this point I'm doing 65) he starts to pace me for like 3 minutes. Then he lights me up. Tells me I was doing 85(I wasn't)writes ticket for 80. I ask him how he determined my speed and he pauses then says radar.<br /><br />So my question is, is it possible for a moving CHP to catch you on the radar??<br /><br />I know I fucked up and should have asked him to show me the radar but I was too chicken at that point. <br /><br />You guys think I have a chance at fighting it?? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>2stangs69-91</b> <br /><small>Member # 1951</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,9,21,19,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yes, been there done it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1Sicgt</b> <br /><small>Member # 714</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,9,21,19,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Well since he had you on radar, you are basically screwed.

UH says he had to think, meaning he was lying..... plently of ways to fight it....<br /> Also him crossing the center divide is dangerous to himself and others and being his job is to promote saftey, he disregarded saftey to TRY and write a ticket when you werent speeding as he paced you non conclussional (sp?)<br />if its a lidar ticket, pm me cuz i won my case....<br />hope this helps give u a few fighting points. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>RioredGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2300</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,9,21,22,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by bottled95GT??:<br /><strong> fight ticket by mail (i did)<br />claim he was driving and shooting from opposite direction.
