You've had much better luck than me getting tickets dismissed. I'm sure it's a jurisdiction thing.

Also faster than 30 mph on the 405? Your story doesn't check out. When was your last drink tonight, sir?

there's more than one 405 :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_405_(California) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_405_(Washington)

Honestly that didn't occur to me because my experience with the PNW was that everybody drives exactly the speed limit while being proud of it. That's literally the exception I'm thinking of when I say that "most places" in the US the custom is 5-10mph over.

I've challenged tickets. Once the cop didn't show, twice he did. Of those latter, I won one and lost one.

They get paid for their time, so it's not as though it's volunteer work.

it's not about being paid for the time. it's the face that allegedly they have a job to do. Did you challenge the tickets yourself of with a lawyer? Which state?
