Ouch! You can't fight it, the DA will not move on these violations. I wouldn't bother hiring a lawyer, just be very pleasant with the judge apologize and maybe he won't fine you but you're still sacked with the $256 court cost.

It's a total money grab. I was in court because I got the same ticket on the
parking lot of the license bureau
registering a car I just purchased that same day
And did you drive the unregistered car to the license bureau on a public
highway???? Nuff said.
