Conversely, I think the more you fight this kind of crap tooth-and-nail, get lawyers involved, etc. is worth it. Anything you can do to make it such that it's less "worth it" to the state to persist with this nonsense helps. Make it cost them as much as you can possibly make it. ALWAYS fight it - even if you're guilty. Waste their time.
It's all about revenue. The state WANTS people to just roll over and cough up the money on demand. That's what keeps the B.S. going. If it becomes less of a "slam dunk" for them, it's less likely to be exploited so regularly.
Of course you need to determine based on your own set of values if it's just B.S. revenue generation or whether you really did legitimately do something wrong that put others in jeopardy (common sense, 10 over doing the pace of traffic you should fight, 60 over weaving in and out of traffic you should take your lumps and not be such an a-hole). You guys know what I'm talking about here. I hope.
