103 mph Speeding Ticket

I got a ticket for 130mph+ a great many years back in a Porsche. I kept the car, kept my license and had it knocked down to an infraction. My first offense so the judge went light. If this is his first then odds are it will get knocked down and he will get the TS option.

Check this link out, it was posted in another car forum. basically how your friend was caught IS NOT LEGAL. Go research before you just roll over and take it.

NOTE: In CA, it is ILLEGAL for the arresting officer to be OTHER THAN the one who clocks you - no matter WHAT method they use (LIDAR, Radar or tracking). That is considered a speed trap and is not admissible in court. They get away with it because few people ever challenge it. What they were showing on the video could be tossed out for that reason alone. The guy with the LIDAR was NOT the one issuing the ticket!

could be, not will be. it all depends on the judge. supposedly you can't go to traffic school as well, but i guess judge can make the car. honestly for over 100mph, i might get a lawyer to make sure things are done right
and i am kind of surprised about the law for OC, kind of doubt that anything over 65mph and you can't go to traffic school. doesn't make sense

Maybe cop 1 on the overpass radios cop 2 to let him know someone is speeding his way and then cop 2 radars the car as it passes by. Therefore cop 2 is the one clocking the speed and also issues the ticket/arrest.

Hey guys, last night my buddy got nailed by CHP for speeding in Mission Viejo of the 5 South. They were on the overpass tagging oncoming traffic and they relayed a car ahead to pursue and pulled us over at an offramp. He got written up for "approximately 103 mph" on the ticket.
Do you guys kno what the penalties are and what are his best options?

A few things... First, what they're doing is abolutely legal. Second, both officers will need to show up for court. The first will need to identify the car and the speed, the second will need to identify you as the driver. Without both bits of testimony, there is no case.
While jamming laser is illegal in CA, I personally tested the Blinder laser jammer and it is an incredible product. You can always turn the device off after being hit (and you've slowed down) and then let the cop get a reading on the second trigger pull. Here's my info from the test..
