Pfff....

Good luck with that. The cop wouldn't admit to that rationale in court. My experience with this sort of thing is that, when all that's on the line is money out of your pocket, you're pretty much screwed. I'd be more worried about the check getting lost in the mail, and your fines doubling and tripling while no one bothers to let you know for six months. The local government is far more likely to gouge you for twice as much than realize they mugged you for no good reason.
