My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Arizona
A few weeks ago I was pulled over traveling southbound on L-101 in the Scottsdale, AZ area. The officer was part of DPS (Highway Patrol)
He was a motorcycle cop standing in the emergency lane (next to the HOV carpool lane) next to his motorcycle holding a LIDAR.
I do not believe he performed a visual estimation of my car instead only relying on the LIDAR device but I'm not too worried about that since he will just say he did visually estimate my speed and there is no way to prove he didn't.
My question is this. I have confirmed that the section of freeway I was traveling on is within the boundaries of the Salt-River Pima Indian Reservation. I am curious about any jurisdictional issues that I can bring up regarding this ticket. Obviously I feel I wasn't speeding which is why I'm going to fight the ticket at a hearing.
I have looked through things but am hoping some people much more intelligent in the matter can help out. I am not sure if the Salt River Indian Reservation has an inter-governmental agreement allowing state troopers to operate on their land. I have found a IGA agreement between the highway patrol and a different indian reservation stating that any state trooper that operates on indian land must go through a training course directly with their tribe's police force before they are certified to conduct business.. even through they may be AZ POST certified.
I am hoping that at my hearing the officer will not have been through this training, or if he has.. did not bring any proof with him to show that the training has been completed.
I'm also curious about trying to find out specific Arizona rules, regulations, or statues that spell out how often the LIDAR units must be calibrated and tested.
Any help?
