[quote]CHP stated I was following to close the auto in front of me. When in fact I was going 65 on the Harbor Freeway and the auto in front of me began to slow down to a point of less than 60 miles per hour. It was at that point I reduced my speed quickly by down shifting my automatic yet the officer (CHP) came over from 4 lanes of traffic and said I was to pull over. I drive a black Jaguar S type so it had to be the car to meet his quota [/quote] Contrary to popular belief CHP officers do not have a quota. What probably happened is that the car in front of you slowed quickly in response to seeing the officer. This is a valid defense and you should have a reasonable chance of being found not guilty. You will be getting your courtesy notice in about two weeks and if your record is clean you will have the option of paying the fine and taking traffic school to mask the ticket.
