Hey gang, this worked for me...on advice of my attorney....when you get a speeding ticket, particularly in the San Fernando Valley, request at the time the cop is writing the ticket that he put in writing on the ticket "Move to County Seat." In my case, the "County Seat" is Downtown LA...few Valley or Simi cops are going to travel to Downtown for an appearance...(well, it least it's alot more likely he won't show)...at your initial hearing, remind the commish that you have requested transfer of the hearing to your County Seat...he/she is required by law to do so if requested...Well, long story short, ticket dismissed at the county seat courthouse 'cause Mr. Valley cop didn't show...My Atty says this will happen 75% of the time...pretty good odds to take a chance at beating a moving violation and a nice fine that goes with it....
