Edit: Let me get a little more technical with info since I don't know how exactly radar guns read which signals first. If the speed of the passing car (which would be behind me on the left at direct sight to the officer) is different from the speed of my car, will the radar gun pick the faster speed always even if the distance is longer or the closest car (to him, me in this case) irrespective of speed due to the wide angle field of the radar?
--------------------------------
The judge in the trial by declaration sided with the officer without any explanation. I have asked for the officer's declaration and the judge's rationale. I know I will get the officer's declaration not sure about the latter though!
Does anyone know the answer to the question above regarding which vehicle the radar will pick, and the accuracy (besides the "when was it calibrated")?
Also, does anyone know where I can find any laws regarding how far apart the speeding limits whould be posted on HWY 156 going through Hollister? Last trip I noticed that the distance between the two posts were about 9-10 miles. One post was south of 25 on 156 either at San Juan or Buena Vista, and the other just before the intersection with 152.
Anyone know a good traffic lawyer practicing in that area?
