I can only hope your system over there is similar to the one here - here's my personal experiences.
I now have a "win file" of offences I've beaten - either by going to court or by playing the system.
with lighting, over here you get nailed for that in a big way - If they don't like you. I lived in a fairly small town (30,000) so I was known.. not in a good way. I have speeding tickets for my *skateboard* damn. Anyway - got nailed for a dead headlight, and got the option to go proove (next day) it was fixed. Pay a $20 Extortion Fee, and they rip it up - "proof of repair" I went, paid, proved, got notice it went to court anyway!
So I bitched, looked into it, dealt with it like a contract, and got my $20 back! Contract sais I paid $20 to keep it off my licence, etc. They broke contract by letting it go to court!
You can't imagine the looks when you walk into a COP SHOP FOR A REFUND!!!!
Otherwise I've beat "improper exhaust" and "excessive noise" a few times. Exhaust - get a shop to certify in writing that you have a complete functional system.
Noise - take it to court! The definition here is "up to the officer's discression" !!!!
So if they don't like you, it's too loud! I asked for a dB reading (measurable) they don't have one, so it got thrown out.
Other times the Cop in question just didn't show up - fine thrown out.
Do yer research, if it was something you did NOT meant to do, or something you are getting 'picked on' for - take it up with the higher legal system!
WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE LICENCES WE PAID/FOUGHT FOR!!!!
</RANT>
If yer just an ass-on-wheels, too bad.
I even walked once with my bike AND licence after getting nailed on laser radar for 189KPH (accellerating) in a 60KPH curve. An hour of wheedling and the cop decided to go for a donut. I booked. He never caught me again.
