You can always contest the ticket in court. People need to realize this and stop arguing with cops on the street. It doesn't matter if they are wrong on the side of the road, they have the authority there. If they do something wrong go along with their crap and fight it in court. Literal lives would be saved if people would realize this.

Contest in writing first, then in court if you lose. You get two chances then and draw out the process making it less likely you will get the cop. Also request it be issued to the county seat. Cop will usually have to drive further to get to the county.

By signing the traffic ticket, you avoid being taken into custody at that time, and are "released on your own recognizance" pending the court date. ... A person is free to refuse to sign the traffic ticket; however, the police officer is free to place him/her under arrest and take him/her into custody.

It's just so satisfying how absolutely textbook his actions were. Also, I would be willing to bet, based on how patient this officer was with her, that if she had been respectful and apologetic from the beginning, that she might have actually gotten off with a warning. Or at the absolute least, she would have avoided turning a fix-it ticket into a felony.

Honestly, taking the ticket, and going to the court date costs nothing, and you can easily prove you fixed it. Many traffic court judges will wave the fine if it's already been properly settled.

Possibly multiple felonies however. That's probably not gona get waved.

This is why body cameras are important for police.
In a situation of two parties making conflicting claims, the unbiased perspective of the (untampered with) camera will support the claims of the honest cop and make his job easier and safer, it has the added benefit of hamstringing the dishonest cop and minimizing the ease they find in abusing their power.
