Interstate 5 South near Los Christianos Road

It is a well known area to locals about police activity along the 5 FWY. One news report described it as the corridor that the most tickets are issued in the state. Mostly CHP patrolled. Typically the rule has been if you don’t speed you don’t get a ticket. That changed for me today. I was forwarned by a co-worker by cell phone who was heading to San Diego 30 minutes earlier than me that the CHP was out in force and I should be careful. I was commuting on my motorcyle to save on gas. CHP units had motorcyles pulled over every few miles. I kept several MPH below the posted 65 all the way. One cop that just got done citing a motorcylist immediatly came after me and pulled me over. He stated that he "estimated" my speed to be in excess of 100MPH and cited me for such. No radar reading. Just picked me out and eyeballed it. I will definetly be seeing him in court providing he has the nards to show. I am an old fart and way to chicken to ever go that fast on a bike. Bikers beware. Now they just eyeball you to make money.
