Santa Clara huh? Was it local PD or Sheriff? You can check status online.
Good luck with the TBWD. I got a ticket on I-5 back in January and tried to fight it. Have I deserved a ticket in the past...yep. This time? Nope, I wasn't even speeding but I think the CHP got me confused with another vehicle just like mine. CA needs their $ since they're broke.
I'm still ahead of the game though.
