The officer's at fault for not knowing the law. You lucked out. I once wrote a citation to a woman for driving her car at 3AM with NO MUFFLER and she took it to court and the judge dismissed it. There's no accounting for what may happen in a court room.

They went outside to check if I had indeed fixed the problem, and charged me a $10 dismissal fee.
now that's what i call using the old noggin.

I know in NJ if you appear in court to contest a ticket, you will be required to pay court fees regardless of if the case is dismissed or not.
