Here in California, speeding tickets (and most vehicle code violatoins) are
infractions and you are not entitled to a trial by jury. Never mind the
constitution. Unless the law has changed since I beat my speeding ticket some 20
years ago, you are given a choice of representation or not. If not, the cop has
to represent himself (no layer) as well. I chose not.
