OT What would you do ?...

If your friend was going the speed limit or slightly above and then sped up to 70 to "get out of the way" then fine and dandy but 104mph??? Give me a break.

I know what you are saying...the CHP has a policy of not using lights or sirens when approaching you...
The place it happened was a 'jumpers' bridge...1 lane and 1 extra foot each way...
I don't know what I would if approached by a car there at 120 who decided to try and get a couple feet behind me...
I have done 100 on that bridge lots of times...I just would not do it at night or when other cars are around...
He does seem real sincere and is really beating him self mentally...I remember the stress my last ticket caused me...
I'm going to ask him to check with ticket busters...a group in Cali. that charges $250 to help you with the forms to do a trial in the mail.
If they can't help (Money back guarentee) I will have him look up a regular lawyer...

Tell it like it happened to the judge. Why he speed up ( fear for his life, etc).

I used to work for a judge in college, you would be surprised how often the judge favors your side. The judge I worked for didn't really like the cops anymore than we did.

If that does not work, beg for mercy not justice.

Good luck..

he knows s.b. area cops judges etc.

That would be my first phone call. The ones who "know people" win a whole lot of cases in my region.
