The saying to your dilemma reminds me of:
"You can beat the rap, but not the ride"
comes to mind.
I once had a hearing regarding a no taillights ticket on a trailer.
Under cross-examination LEO changed his testimony that they were not bright enough. I asked how bright did they need to be? He responded he did not know. Later another LEO unrelated to the case, after checking ordinances voiced, they must be visible from a thousand feet. I asked the charging officer did he move a thousand feet away to check visibility, he responded no. I brought the actual taillight into the well lit courtroom, turned it on with a battery and pointed it in the direction of the judge 20'? feet away, bailiff wanted to arrest me for "assault" on the judge. LOL
When I asked the charging LEO how recently he had had his eyes examined, the Judge, suspended the hearing and told everyone to sit down and cool down. Judge at the end, dismissed the charges.
Good Luck.
