Usually they know eachother and just bullshit and "yeah yeah...okay sounds good". $300 later with a nod and a handshake they drop your charge down. Our legal system....for traffic anyways is all garbage.
I was at court for a reckless driving (over 80) in virgina on a highway. The guy before me was there for reckless driving on a motorcycle...which caused an accident. He had a lawyer and walked out with a $700 fine and supervision.
Me...no lawyer....$1800 fine and 6 month suspension....with a lying cop who changed around everything from what he told me when he pulled me over. Thanks great legal system.

My wife was given a similar ticket when she was driving my mustang (pre camaro SS days).. The court had a different ticket that the cop wrote up and exagerated everything.. Long story about what the ticket was about in the first place but basically he pulled over the wrong car that the radar said was speeding... Because she was driving a sports car he didn't even think to go after the other car.. No lawyers.. The judge threw it out because the cop wrote a new ticket that didn't match the original one (after proof of course)
