Hey, dude, it wasn't even accidental. You deliberately ran that stop sign and knew exactly what you did. Now you come here to say you're going to fight it. The more I think about it, I think you just came here to boast about it. Kind of disgusting, if you ask me. 🙁

:laugh: could my excuse paired with too sleepy to post more than two words work here lethal ?
Big deal, the guy ran a stop sign, and wants to fight it. It is his right, and if the cop doesn't show, he will likely get off. It is worth a shot, because even if the cop does show, he can just say it was his first infraction in a few years and he could then ask that it be dismissed on his good driving record. Why should he not do that if those are the circumstances? Even if they are not, they can still lower the ticket if they are feeling generous.
You guys really make me laugh, like you are all so perfect and never do any wrong. Be a man you all say!!! What the hell does admitting to a ticket have to do with being a man? How about use the system to your advantage, because they have likely screwed you over somewhere down the line, and what comes around goes around. I know there are plenty of cops where I live that don't listen to reason half the time, even if you are in the right, so you have no choice but stand up for your rights, even though a judge almost always sides with an officer as opposed to a simple law abiding citizen with a clean record. The cop is always right in a judges eyes, right or wrong. So don't go telling this guy he should just take his lumps and take it like a man, because in my opinion, if he has a chance, I say stick it to the man and use your tax dollars for something more than paying some cop to write some more tickets, since not all cops are infallible and are in fact wrong sometimes. So there!!
I could care less whether or not he ran the stopsign. Let them prove it, since it won't cost him any more money, except maybe $25 for court costs. I fight every ticket whether or not I actually did what they say I did. I've gotten off on about half of them, and you know what? The ones I got off on were not always the ones I deserved to get off on. The ones I rightfully should have gotten off on have usually been the ones where no matter what I said, the judge always sided with the police, so if I sound a bit jaded towards law enforcement, you are right. I am!! They made me this way, as I have been prosecuted numerous times for things I didn't even do.
Once I was sited for leaving the scene of an accident, and I wasn't even in the car the night in question, and had no idea what the hell they were talking about, but was convicted anyhow. The judge told me that either I could get a decent lawyer and pay thousand of dollars for something I didn't do, or be convicted. It was my choice, so since I was 18 at the time and had not a pot to piss in, I took a $100 fine and had to pay for damages for some person's car that was supposedly damaged by me and my car. To this day I have no idea what happened with that situation, but can tell you it had nothing to do with me, so I say screw the system every chance you get, because it will do so to you if you let it. If they want to give you a ticket, make them waste some of their time to get your hard earned cash, and see how they like sitting in court and proving their case, even when they are in the right, since they do it to us all the time.

FYI, I feel that the OP should not have rolled through so fast. 10MPH through a stop sign is not a "California stop", it's pretty fast.
But I do defend the OP's right to fight the ticket.
I've sped and gotten tickets numerous times. I broke the law by going faster than the speed limit. Does that mean I should have owned up and paid? Hell no!
I fight every traffic ticket I receive and I win a good majority of them, no lawyers needed.

I hate the a-holes who do the rolling stop around here, in the middle of the day, in heavy traffic. It's insane what some of these people will think is acceptable merging. But on the other hand, when it's obvious that no one is around, I'll break the rules a little bit.
15-20 mph is too much though. Obviously you didn't see the cop. What if you didn't see that guy on the motorcycle either? Or bicycle? You should think about things like that.

I got a ticket for stop sign 6 weeks ago,
I stopped where the white line was painted on the pavement;
but I couldn't see,if there was any traffic coming,so I kept creeping forward.
I plead not guilty,had to go back another 2 weeks later,for a "Trial" date.
On the "trail date" the Police Officer asked if I wanted to plead to a lesser charge;
which would mean No points,no record of the ticket,
to save the hassle of a real trial I did, $130 total fine.
The judge said if I had plead guilty to the stop sign ticket it would have been 3 points,
and $205 total fine,{including a mandatory $55 state "surcharge"}.
Good luck.

Yes. The system is not in place to give you a break if you actually broke the law. It's there to prevent against crooked and prejudice police officers.

This is actually an excellent indicator. I once got pulled for doing 57 in a 45 (I had come from a 55 zone). I drove right past the cop who was parked on the shoulder of my side of the road and I didn't even see him till he was behind me and lit up his lights.
Way I figure it, if I was driving fast enough I didn't see a cop parked on the side of the road, then I really was driving too fast.

sucka 😛
i got pulled over for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign about a year ago.
no ticket.
When the "system" you refer to gets a large percentage of its funding from fines, the "system" has a major conflict of interest.
Fully fund the "system" with government money and donate fines to schools; then see how many tickets they write.
