thats what i was thinking. i was wondering if Folsom is in Sac county? or vice versa? sorry, dont know norcal. although i highly doubt a sheriff would give a ticket outside of his jurisdiction/county. sounds like he is some kind of metro/narc cop. no uniform, badge around neck/on a chain. unusual car with hidden lights. while im sure its well within his powers to give out traffic tickets im sure it is uncommon to. sounds like this tool was f*cking with you. maybe thought you were a gangbanger/drug dealer/punk. (i have no idea what you look like). i was pulled over once by lapd metro. they were total dicks and threatened to have my truck impounded yada yada yada but then just let me go. mind you, i hadnt broken any traffic laws. they said they pulled me over because i had my college parking pass hanging from my rear view mirror and thats a violation for safety reasons. i guess when they realized i was just some regular 18 year old kid they let me go. they were driving an unmarked car and wore regular clothes.

i hope you can successfully fight this. your driving record is irrelevant because its your word against his. if he says he was not following dangerously etc...(lying) and that YOU were driving dangerously....

it all depends on what result you want? in and out cheap? pay ticket, driving school, done with it? principal? seek legal counsel to see if there at least is any chance. either way you go, i would definitely call the station and speak with his supervisor/captain (whatever). that just sounds like bullsh*t to me and Id be pissed as hell too!
