Some places, the cop is the prosecutor, other places have an ADA that does it; I'd call the court and find out who prosecutes traffic tickets and call them in advance...explain that you haven't had a ticket in years-they can check-and that you just want to preserve your insurance rates, and the schtick about the speed limit change and you were unaware but will be more prudent. You might still have to do the zoom, but it helps to have the deal in advance.
