Red: Denotes my car
Blue: Denotes cop car
Orange: Denotes other cars
I'm driving down this road to proceed to do a left turn. There is traffic and the light is already red to turn left.
Point A: Meanwhile, traffic is moving west to east, and east to west in the picture. I am stopped at the light for 20-30 seconds before the left turn signal is on. During this 20-30 second interval, the cop car which appears to be readying for a right turn, stays still.
Point B: Left turn signal goes green. Cop flashes lights and does a U-turn to pull me over.
He says he did radar to pull me over. He even waved the device in his hand as he walked over.
Question: How could he radar me diagonally across traffic with obstacles (other moving cars) in the way?
Question: Based on where he was set up, wouldn't he be pointing his radar gun towards traffic going west to east? Would that not be the correct way to set up as he could immediately turn right and be behind someone he was pulling over? Who would set up radar like that so they would have to do a U-turn like that?
This doesn't make sense to me at all. This would be the first ticket I've received where I really feel it is worth fighting. If I was speeding, I have always been good with paying the ticket. Thoughts?
