So you were guilty, admitted it, and lucked out and got an idiot judge. BTW, your insufficient evidence claim was and is total BS, you have no right to see a radar, radar doesn't have to be used to clock, nor does it usually record. FYI, CHP doesn't use radar traditionally they use LIDAR.
Good for you.
Good for you.
I assume you are a cop?

I had an incident on christmas eve . Traffic on the freewaay like the usual.. I was on the carpool lane and I swerved onto the right lane.... and my passenger side tire went on the other side of the lane. Cop got me for a nice ticket.. How can I fight this? My intentions weren't to merge onto the slower lanes I already had an extension

I think if you were technically swerving to avoid an accident it can excuse you from a carpool ticket, but like I said, I'm not lawyer. I know there are attorneys on here, maybe ask one of them, or look it up. I know there's also a sticky here that has advice on fighting tickets through mail, look that up and it should help.
And I don't mean to brag about "beating the system" or anything like that. I took full responsibility for what I did in terms of the carpool ticket, and got the fix it tickets taken care of, as well. Seeing as there's a lot of cops on here, I don't want to say something disrespectful about one cop because not all of them are bad, and I've been pulled over before and let off with a slap on the wrist. I know I wasn't going anywhere close to 84 in a 65, and I sitll got written up for it. The officer wasn't polite at all, and technically, I probably shouldn't have gotten off the ticket. But I did, and I wish the best of luck to all of you in the future, but hopefully none of you are ever in a position where you're facing 1100 dollars in fines and a F/T student working P/T.
Drive safe out there, fellas.
