As an ex-cop, let me suggest that there might be another side to the story. I can't say for certain in California, but in Oregon a citation could be written for something other than speeding if the speed could not be determined - such as Careless Driving. So who knows how he is claiming to have gotten the 90 MPH reading? I agree with the posts that question the logic of going to court and lying to show how unfairly you were treated.

My theory would be to use the declaration system and simply say that you had sped up for a short distance, but slowed before the cop was anywhere near you. The trouble with that logic of course is why would he have stopped you if he hadn't seen you speeding? Trust me, he didn't stop you because you were driving a Porsche. He saw a lot of other sports cars that day and probably left most of them alone.
