Defendant's Name:
Case No.:

I respectfully submit this written declaration to the Court pursuant to CVC 40902. I plead Not Guilty to the charge of violating CVC 22450(a).

The facts of my case are as follows: While driving southbound on Termino at 2:30 pm on 5-19-04, I approached a stop sign at 14th street. I came to a complete stop, looked both ways to see there were no other cars, shifted from neutral to first gear and began to drive again. I was then stopped by a LBPD Officer (Unit# 5408) and was charged with violating CVC 22450(a). The Officer alleged that I was driving 10 mph and did not stop at the stated stop sign.

The Stop Sign Law, CVC 22350, states: The driver of any vehicle approaching a stop sign at the entrance to, or within, an intersection, or railroad grade crossing shall stop at a limit line, if marked, otherwise before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection."

I feel I obeyed this law, and could not have been going 10 mph since I came to a complete stop. As such, I know that I was not in violation of the basic stop sign law at the time and place of my citation and contest that my traffic stop was therefore not prima facie unlawful.

I trust in the Court's fairness and believe that my citation should be dismissed in the interest of justice.

If the court does not find in my favor in this case, I request a fine reduction and a Court assignment to attend traffic school.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

But you ran the stop sign, right?

Default Well written, but it will probably come down to his word against yours....

and since he is under oath while on duty, his word is above yours
