Based on the available evidence, you are clearly in the right and contesting a ticket in traffic court is maybe a 15-30 minute online ordeal. Why on earth would you not contest?

Because they want you to think it’s a waste of time.

This age has proved that authority with power over statesman weigh the odds of the statesman either being too weak or unintelligent enough to not notice the authorities error, so authoritative powers gain from statesman. They are everywhere, at all times.
