if you plan to fight it... make sure you get pictures of the area proving that it has no point of reference lines to measure your speed.   also, call the police department and see when the officer is on vacation.  if you tell them you want to schedule a court date convenient for them, then they will give you the info.  after you find out their vacation schedule.. set your court date during their vacation.  they will not show up.  out in cali.. the thing about overpaying on tickets does not work...
