I believe that if you break the law you should pay the penalty but when the deputy told my wife that she did stop then where is the violation? At that point it makes it clear to me that it is quota for the month and entrapment and not enforcement. Should we go to court? We know that the fine is $166 and 3 points. If we lose or win what are the court costs? Anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.
Obliviously, you can fight the ticket. Probably won't win.

Some people have tried "Ticket Clinic", and the reviews shows mixed results. Might have to pay even more money and they don't guarantee the points to be excluded for her license. a friend of mine used them and paid even more money, and they didn't do anything for him.

Another option is to pay the fine but you are allowed to take a driving course and the points will not be added to her license, assuming she hasn't taken the class within the last 12 months.
