This is true, but the only times I (or my friends) have had any luck with the court, it was with a lawyer. On our own, you just got owned! Sorry, but I'm still for the lawyers.
Which county? Pasco used to start off each night court by allowing you to plead 'no contest'. You paid court fees, fines, and then got no points. Not sure if this is still the case, but I didn't mind paying cash for dropping the points.

Eh... if it's just a principal thing, I doubt you will get anywhere. The judge will always take the officers word over yours.

And as said by others... Good Luck
