i would fite it i got pulled over every day for 3 months and issued a ticket at least 1 time a day and went to court for all of them they all got thrown out and the judges always said it was harrasment (wich it was because of a diffrent story) but after 3 months i had 1 judge tell me they have thrown out so many they have to find me guilty on 1 even tho she feals its just another bullshyt ticket(it was crazy hearing a judge use those exact words) so i got suckered into paying a ticket but she droped the fine way down...basically you dont lose shyt by fighting it...the whole court cost will be issued is crap all the times i went in there the only people they issued that to was dumb ass dui people...all the judges no pinellas park is full of crooked ass cops...oh yea and by the way its crazy because i actually drove by in a car as the cop pulled your friend...i was going the other way and didnt think much of it other than wow harrassing another person they never stop...
