I got stopped by a rookie cop at 2;45AM this morning. In the wilds of Burrillville. Stopped for a red light at the corner of Central Ave. and Rt 102. I could see 2 miles in either direction. I stopped as I said absolutely no cars on the road and then "ran the red light." Naturally some rookie cop is hiding in the bushes and pulls me over.
here's my question:
I have a right to "plead guilty with a good driving record" No violations in 3 years. BTW, I have NEVER had a violation. None, NADA, NEVER. If I go this route there will be no record and I pay court costs. If I don't I mail in a $85 fine. The problem I face is in order to "plead guilty with a good driving record" I have to appear in court. Probably an all day event.

What would you guys do?
