Ticket on private propperty?

[sacgsxr600]

A buddy of mine tried out my bike without a helmet in the alley way behind some appartments. Unfortunatly a CHP saw him and gave him a ticket. I thought it was private property. Does anyone know if this is legal. thanks

I received a no helmet ticket while on our private road that had a closed gate, took it to court and it was dismissed no questions. Mr LEO had to answer why he deemed it nescesary to open a private property gate cross over a cattle guard and write me a ticket while riding a dirt bike. though if it was a alley as you say it was probobly a city owned street.:confused

Alley's are mostly not private property

Check with the city/county and find out if it's a public road. If it IS private property fight it.

+1. If it is maintained by the governent for vehicular travel, it is considered a highway by the law. If it is not, then the ticket is 100% beatable.
