My personal experience with BS tickets...
On my way home from work one night a cop pulled me over for doing 46....in a 45 zone. Go figure. It was friday night around midnight (i work nights). I'm sure he really pulled me over for being the only car on the road at that time.
ANYWAYS. Of course he caught me on the most chaotic night of which I couldn't find my proof of insurance. the ticket was something ridiculous like 300+ dollars.
The next day I went to my local Clerk of Courts and had a court date set.
I dressed up real nice and told the judge what happened, and showed him proof that I was insured at that time and the current time. He immediately
threw the ticket out and I only had to pay a 3 dollar court fee.
So in your situation, if you explain to the judge very cool headed that the cop that wrote the ticket was out of line, or wrong, then you most likely will have the same outcome! or at least a reduced ticket fee.
