Criminal speeding — speed element not established (AZ)
Legal basis
A.R.S. 28-701.02 requires speed over 85 mph on any road, 20+ mph over posted limit in a business/residential district, or over 35 mph in a school zone. The prosecution must prove the specific triggering threshold beyond a reasonable doubt.
