I got a ticket for doing a California stop, near complete, not completely running a stop sign with no other cars in sight. In my mind it was a complete stop. He followed me for two blocks before pulling me over. Is there anyway I can fight it?

Suck it up, dude. Take it like a man. Reminds me of the guy stopped for running a stop sign, he told the officer, "I slowed down and looked both ways, whats the difference?" The cop jerked him out of the car, got him in a headlock and started pounding his face. The cop asked,"Now, here's the difference, do you want me to stop or just slow down?",,,,LOL..

No, you always have to come to a COMPLETE stop at a stop sign, or red light (if you are able to turn on red and the light is red), or you can lawfully get a ticket and not be able to fight it!

Nope. You just admitted to us all that you didn't come to a complete stop. Take your punishment like an adult and live with it.

Near complete and not completely is not complete. So what would the defense be? My mind said it was complete?

Nope, stop means stop, you just happened to do the wrong thing at the wrong time and got caught.

No. california stops are done every day and many violators are cited for it, including you. stop signs are there for a reason. just because you did not see any another automobiles, does not mean the sign was not still valid. in your mind and in the officers mind, the definition of a california stop are two entirely different definitions.

Following you for two blocks was for safety reasons.

No, whether cars are there or not, you still have to come to a complete stop. He can follow you for 2 miles if he likes before pulling you over.

A stop is classified as '3 seconds'...

Guilty until proven inoccent, take it to court and take your chances on them showing up.

I would use this defense
