Any Lawyers here..  |
Get a lawyer first...most can represent you without your presence and have points removed / fine reduced. However, most cost approximately $50 per citation (at least in FL) and cannot guarantee you win the case. Chances are much higher with one...

I work in FL as well..I hate writing high fine citations during this economy, so personally....yea, if you don't have your insurance or registration I would much prefer to cite for that statute and let you complete the "fix it" stipulation.
I don't want to lead you in the wrong direction though, I know alot of cops who will hammer you for both....I guess all I can tell you is gauge the officer
