What's so funny? Actually, I've been to traffic court like 6 times when I was a teenager and drove crazy, and had the fines reduced to the legal minimum or removed every time.

Sincerely,
Tyler

I absolutely disagree with what you're saying. Most judges are reasonable, and put the burden of proof on the officer, not the defendant- as is required by law.

The judge also has the power to adjust sentencing to make the punishment fit the crime. For example, over a year ago in Oregon I got a ticket for running snow tires out of season. What I was doing was illegal, and I admitted it to the judge- but pleaded not guilty (the only option which gets you to court) because it had in fact snowed a few days earlier, and I had put the tires on just for that snow storm, and had then been out of town and didn't have time to change them back. The judge found me guilty, but reduced the fine to the absolute minimum (from about $150 to like $10).

If you are professional, courteous and reasonable, and don't contradict the officers testimony (calling him a liar) but instead explain the circumstances surrounding your actions, most judges will give you the minimum sentence the law allows them to.
