I just got a speeding ticket in walnut. I was driving down la puente rd with no cars coming in any directions. As I passed by a church a cop pops out and pulls me over. I just have a couple of questions.

1. Are cops allowed to park In private proterty such as a church?

2. Is this ticket worth fighting? No cars were in the area. I'm very familiar with the area. I know I shouldn't have been speeding but it was down hill and I was very tired. I'm a poor college student who cannot afford a ticket like this.

All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

I know that spot very well! the cops stay in that parking lot all the time ! It's nice and dark and he can get cars going both ways!

sorry about your ticket but the Walnut sheriffs have nothing else to do but give out tickets! Walnut has very little crime!

 

this is what i hear about walnut

 

this is why i was going like 20 there on wednesday night lol. get rid of your s2000 and you will have money to pay for it!!!!!!!!

 

You'll see them camp there quite often, as stated above, walnut sheriffs dont do much but speeding and modified tickets, just get as many extensions as you can, and try to fight it written or in court. I'm still fighting mine with written declaration for the one I got in June.

 

Heh sad to say i've gotten a ticket in that same spot before.
Really popular cop spot cuz almost everyone speeds down that road.
Good luck man

 

thanks for all the help guys really appreciate it. anyone know how much this ticket is? i dont think im going to fight it

 

These tickets vary from city to city, county to county....... Best bet is wait a week or 2 for the ticket to process. Go down to the court house on the ticket and see the clerk

 

Or save your time and just go to the website:

I got two speeding tickets, both within a week of my birthday, I requested an extension on hoping the cop doesn't show! If he does, then I'll hopefully have enough money then to take care of it.

 

After u request and extension.. make sure to request a court date.. that will give u an extra 4-6 months hahah
