Hello I'm new to this forum and I am glad I found this place. I have a situation on my hands that I'm sure many of you may have been through, so I am hoping I can get some advice from you guys to help me along. I did a little searching earlier to find some similar threads and I got a lot of great advice, but I also need some clarificiation.
So here's the situation:
I'm 18 years old and I drive a 350ZR. I was going at about 80 down the 210 East in Pasadena on the far left lane. I was visiting my girlfriend who lived a far ways out, and I was on the road at around 3 in the morning. My gps beeped to inform me that I should get ready to take the off ramp off the freeway, and I noticed that there was a car on my right and was rather close to my tail. I sped up, merged lanes, and when I was easing back and getting ready to take the off ramp, the car that was to my right turned out to be a cop and he pulled me over. He cited me for breaking the speed limit and clocked me at 90. There were very few cars present on the road, and I do not see how I did anything wrong. I was not driving recklessly and I am sure that drivers are given some disrection for speeding up to merge lanes. In any case, its my word against the cop's, but I would appreciate some opinions on the matter.
I wrote to the judge a few days ago requesting that I have a change in the county seat to a location closer to where I reside. I am due in court in Pasadena, but I live in Irvine. I requested a place like Long Beach.
In any case, I read in a previous thread that scooterdog proposed to file declaration of status, affidavit of truth, and default the prosecutor. I would like to do that, but how do I go about getting the papers? Are these forms something I have to compose myself, or do I pick up copies at a court office somewhere?
