You have some good advice from members here.
1 Get a lawyer and fight it. Some judges will tend to bully defendants if they see you are not using a lawyer. Many judges don't want you clogging up their calenders fighting tickets and will pressure you to just pay, if you don't show up with an attorney.
2 Have the attorney play up the hardship a moving violation will cost you (loss of a promotion)
3 If the Judge does not agree to reduce to a non-moving violation, try to get him to agree to a guilty plea to speeding with the stipulation that it will be reduced to a non-moving violation after 6 months of clean driving. You can also later have you record "expunged" or "cleaned" in some States.
4 If the Judge is still stubborn have the attorney schedule and re-schedule all court appearances. The cop will initially schedule all his tickets for the same day. You may get lucky and re-schedule to a day the officer can't get to court...and you win outright.
