Default Fight it or dont fight it?

ok so i got caught doing 80 in 55 zone.
so i read up on the lawyers and thinking ill go with one of them. Dennis wants 150 and rick wants 250. (tickets $210)

but how does it work? they dont care to hear your case so how do they do it?
and if there was 2 cops that stopped me does that mean its harder for them to fight for me etc?

the reason why i thought i could beat it (until i learn they just ask me to bring it to them and pay) is b/c i didnt do 80 for maybe a 5th of a second i dont stop at a limit i just kind of keep raising speed until i have to turn LOL
so unless they clocked me doing 80 for a 5th of a second and thats it they might have been right but otherwise no.
which also leads me to believe they never had a gun (or werent ready)

and 1 more thing: i didnt have a white tag light on the tag when i got pulled over which i suppose they could have taken me on for addition the the ticket but they didnt can they see that from vista cruzer video and all of a sudden toss that shit in there or no is that already too late (while in court) ?

so what say u all? fight or no fight!

my take on it, and ive done this SEVERAL times as well as had friends do it...unless you CANT make it to court, why pay some attorney to go and do EXACTLY what you are going to do, stand there in front of the judge, if the cops are there you plea "no-contest" which means you arent 'fighting' the ticket you are basicly asking mercy from the court system to be lineint on you this time if you have a decent driving record...here in Pasco county the judges ALWAYS withold points from the license and usually assess a lesser fine than the one cited...

Don't plead no-contest. NO CONTEST IS THE SAME AS PLEADING GUILTY. You'll see that plastered all over the place when it comes time, and the judge will probably remind you of that.

If the cop doesn't show up it will get thrown out. If he shows, plea no contest.

Lawyers...
During my last trip to the courts in Lake County, there was a lawyer representing a bunch of people. The lawyers have the ability to summon logs & check for mistakes. If they find those mistakes they can ask that your case be dismissed. There was more than 1 cop with logs on them & the lawyer found mistakes such as incorrect times & dates logged which he used to have the tickets dismissed...
